    I have now two K&N filters that I alternate before every service and after every bush,dusty trip as I would like the vest airflow possible.
    The Nissan paper filter is a great filter for normal road driving.

    The best advantage is not having to buy another filter as I just wash clean and re oil the spare filter.
    You do get a little more power with the better air flow, and for a 3lt you need all the power you can get. Lol

    Stop being such a tighty. Lol. One k&n is not even double the price of a paper element.

    The recharge kit is about as much as a paper element though, but it does do at least two recharges.
