had both, both are good, but personal preference for me is the K&N which is what i have now. although i might look into dropping an apexi filter into my K&N airbox.
What would be the reasoning behind this, better filter?
i had an apexi on my old car and it was a great filter, but it was also a dry filter, where as the K&N is an oiled filter; nothing wrong with that but there is a risk of oil clogging the MAF (only if you over oil it.) also the apexi has a cyclone funnel in it. the JWT is good as it has more filter area with the internal filter section its like 2 cones.
would never have a mesh filter, not good at filtering. foam is good though the piper cross was on my civic. i've tried a lot of filters on different cars. my fav so far have been the JWT K&N and apexi.
So you are saying a mesh filter like http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cf ... ct_ID=1027 isnt actually a very good filter? (for dirt)
