Amsoil TS118 Air Filter installed 850

I orderd the amsoil filter to try it out it cost 31.95 plus 5.00 shipping. ordered it last thursday and it showed up last friday the next day.

So as far as customer service goes they get an A+

AS for the filter, there seems to be better throttle response and less turbo lag, and i can definitally hear more air being "Sucked" in.

I have used a K&N before and the performance increase is much the same, a couple of HP maybe but definitally better response, which is why i ordered the filter, if you think you can get 10HP with a new filter good luck.

So considering the price paid, the long life of the cleanable element, no need for a Cleaning Kit like the K&N, just use mild soapy water mix, and reoil.
I think it is a good investment.

K&N looks more sporty, but who can see the filter once it is installed in the airbox. The fit is good, the filter kinda kust slips in and the Foam edges hold it in place.

Also this filter has a far superior filtering efficiency than a K&N and flows the same CFM, so a better filter with the same airflow is good.
