12,000 mile service - Air Filter, After Market or Standard

[haditlowered]

i'm in the process of doing my 12000 miles service - its happening in stages final drives oil, spline greased, gear and engine oils changed yesterday - valve clearances will be done on Sunday. She's getting new boots too - TKC 70's being fitted by a mate today whilst the wheels are off. For the air filter - should i stick with the standard air filter or an aftermarket? I have Akro headers and end can and she's de-flapped, i also have a power boost lead fitted, nothing wrong with the performance as she is, she goes like a train and very smooth too, the question is "is there merit in fitting a K&N over the standard filter with my set up" - Thanks.

hi flo do a standard filter,price is good too,no advantage with a k&n .

'She' will benefit from an OEM paper filter. There are many threads on this site about this subject. KN filters are useful for stopping tumble weeds being sucked into a V12 nascar engine but little else.

K&N gives off more induction noise, which gets annoying after a while. I removed my K&N and went back to OEM paper elements.

Thanks all, I will skip the K&N and go standard.
