but they're a bit long and stick out in the radiator opening area of the bumper causing them to get dirty fairly fast and I fear dirt might be forced through the filter? W/E, I'm thinking of replacing them with these:
you guys think the Spectre filter would have a negative performance impact due to size/material?
These are the filters that came with the kit and yes, the pipes are pushed all the way in and last time I cleaned my airfilters I also tried moving the pipes around to get the filters as high up as I can. They don't stick out an insane amount but I am wondering if those filters I showed would alter performance negatively. Here's a night time shot of the filters sticking out:
I'd leave the K&N filters on. Just man-up and clean them a bit more often, its one of the realities of owning an aftermarket intake designed to give you added performance. Flow/design has been fully tested on that system with the K&Ns, and K&Ns are known to be excellent quality filters. (fwiw i have the nearly identical stillen g3 setup)
I would speculate and say that you wont lose HP because those filters are shorter and probably has a bit more air inlet. But I would stick with the Injen. They were engineered with them.
