spectre or k&n

[hifi875]

I had a k&n xstream filter/lid. took it off in favor of a spun aluminum lid. But now am going back to a filter lid for better hood clearance. Question is: would the spectre lid be comparable to the k&n. I can buy a whole spectre lid and filter lid kit for less than the k&n lid alone.

I too have seen the spectre stuff around pep boys, and its hard not to look at the price.

So I would pull a cover out of the box hold it up to a light, and compare it to a K+N piece. If they close enough then it should be good enough. Just keep it oiled up as thats what makes a K+N work.
