BRJ, do a search on K&N filters. there is alot of debate on the effectiveness. i have one in my truck and ...well, i dont know if it does a thing. i wouldnt use on in my 911. but mine is CIS.

Well I just got it at ANDIAL since they are only 2 minutes from me and Arnold claims he has it in his 86 3.2 and claims that you should only be concerned if it was a 993 or 996 because they are sensitive to the oil in the filter - Otherwise not to worry.

So I guess Im going to have to go witht he experts advise. Use the K&N

They are definitely less restrictive, that is why they sound "nifty" but in my opinion the lower restriction means more crap in your engine. Stay with the stocker.

Let's see; cool sound or longer lasting engine. Hmmmm, tough choice. :rolleyes:

Well I just installed it and it doesnt sound different to me. Oh well! It needed a new filter anyhow.

My take: a clean paper filter flows just as well if not better than a K and N. The factory paper filter filters well though, so it probably gets clogged faster, and thence it will be more restrictive if not cleaned/changed regularly.
