      Air filter recommendation

      I've got a nice running stock 350 in a '93 Fleetwood Brougham I picked up in March.

      Needs an air filter.

      I had a K & N on a newer vehicle with an LS motor, but that would seem to me to be overkill on this kind of car.

      I've heard good and bad about Fram.

      Someone suggested Purolator or AC Delco filter.

      Opinions?

      Thanks.

      For oem by an AC Delco or head for a NAPA and use NAPA Gold (made by Wix)air filter
      Frams are super restrictive, pass.
      But why would a K&N be over kill, its a good filter, it lasts forever(save old one to use for a day while it dries when you clean it)and it will give you better mileage and more power.

      a good NAPA/Wix filter is perfect. Fram filters just seem so cheaply made- a filter for the same application probably weighs half as much as a Wix/NAPA part, and has noticably less filtering media. same for oil filters- Wix/NAPA gold are the way to go.

      I've had good luck with K&N, nothing overkill about it. Now, the CAI kit they sell might be overkill for a daily driver, but the filter itself?? Nah. Reminds me though, I really do need to give mine a good wash and oil soon.

      Try S&B filters. They're akin to the K&N but offer a little more flow due to more surface area.
