Ok, today I want to settle the mystery!
Cut louvers and go with a Baldwin air filter, porous paper or buy a K and N for my 1990.
I have read a few arguments on both sides, seen the you tube videos with bouncing ***** and wondered what will give me a free boost of a realistic tiny bit of power?

Cut the lid and use a paper filter, no need to worry about oiling a filter or any issues that could come with over oiling, and depending on how much you drive you car a k&n may never pay for itself

No performance gain with K&N, so it's really just personal preference -- it takes several years to justify the cost difference vs paper. I plan to keep my car forever so the math worked out

I have them on all my vehicles and have never had any issues with MAF contamination from the oil either. Just have to make sure you don't over-oil them.

I have K&N and have never had a problem with it, seems to have made a improvment in sound to me, but then again I have a custom cover and maybe that helps.

Sounds like it's just not worth buying a K and N.
Not sure how they became so famous!
almost everyone says cut louvers and use paper.

Not even the sound became like "stronger"?

My car came with one so I'l keep it.

Hey Kimmer if you want a backup I'll sell this one cheap!
And since your in NorCal the shipping will be reasonable

kimmer

Thank's but I think I'll pass.

If you had a spare you could switch them out faster.......I'd think about the Coach's offer, you never know, it could come in handy..........WW
