Poll: Green Panel vs K&N filters
Hi Guys,
I want to improve my airflow while maintaining OEM appearance. I know K&N has been around for many decades but know nothing about Green Panel. I welcome your comments, Chris |

Chris, I put a Summit Racing panel air filter in my 2017 and am satisfied with it so far. It looks like a K&N filter and can be cleaned and cost about $45.00. Either panel filter is a good choice.

Don's flame suit and turns on the oxygen tank...
I have seen countless dyno runs where a oil soaked type filter like K&N actually made less power than a high quality paper filter. |

I have used both and they are of similar quality. I give the slight nod to Green because it seemed higher quality. The pleats were neater in the Green. Tests claim the Green flows more too (unconfirmed). The fitment was OEM perfect with the Green too.

A Green filter is my preferred choice if available for the vehicle. K&N is my next choice. I have Green filters in my ZL1 and Silverado and K&N in my Blazer because a Green is not available.

This study may be a few years old, but it's still valid. I'll never use a K&N filter again.

When it comes to protecting the engine from dirt, AC Delco was tops. While the data was collected in 2004, it would indeed be interesting to see how the AC Delco stacks up against the popular CAI’s that many are using today. Chris |

Now don't get me started on magnets on the fuel line to increase HP. Or those swirly inserts that increase intake turbulence to make more power. |

That’s it, I’m leaving it OEM since I also like that it draws from outside.
Thanks for everyone’s input, Chris |

The OEM is actually a free flowing paper type filter and I’m thinking about putting mine back in!

K&N for me on all my automobiles. Never had any problems with the ol' K&N.
