K&N vs. S&B


Alright, so I'm swapping out my air filter for one of these cotton-based models, and I'm wondering which brand would be the best to get. I know K&N is generally accepted as the bigger name, but according to test results on their site, S&B cones flow about 10% better. Even if that's true though, is it honestly worth it for a 3.8L engine, not to mention placing an order to Cali. since no one carries them locally? Lemmie know what you guys think...

Personally, I have a K&N, but yeah there isn't much difference between the two. And yes it is worth it to put a better Air filter on your V6. You might want to consider a CAI while your at it. You can get one off e-bay for real cheap.
