What are the advantages of having a K&N? It's time for a new AF and im debating whether to spend money on a K&N or just regular (inexpensive) one. Not trying to thread-jack rancher11 but i figured this was an appropriate thread to ask a question. lol

Most air filters are cleanable. THe K&N lets more air in.
I like it because it is rather easy to clean and you can purchase the proper cleaners at any auto parts shop. I hate the sticky foam filters. Messy. I do know they are great filters aswell. Buy a good filter either way.
