new air filter


ok it had a old dirty k&n air filter but it was filthy even after a recharge kit, so i bought a semi cheap one, non cotton, but it doesnt make as loud as a wine when i stomp on the gas as when it had the dirty k&n, so is this new one no good or is it actually getting good flow?

k&n filters should last forever without washing/recharging (or so they say). I say give it another cleaning and use the old one
