On the filters, from another post I made earlier; From what I understand the Puro has a finer filter but this comes at the expense of flow rate (though still within SEA standards). Now the bypass pressure on the Puro is also somewhat higher then the K&N. So allthough it filters better just from a filter performance point of view and therefore does good in tests, I'm wondering how good it is for our engines, especially when you drive them under high load for a longer time. I wasn't able to find the exact specs for the two different filters and I don't know if this is correct, but this is what I found for similar filters: Purolator PureOne PL34631 * Average largest pore size: 42 µm * Smallest pore size: 10 µm * 30W 70F Oil flow @ 10psi: 5.3 oz per minute K&N 3002 * Average largest pore size: 63 µm * Smallest pore size: 27 µm * 30W 70F Oil flow @ 10psi: 14.7 oz per minute So there I would go with either one based on how you drive; - during break in I would go with a Puro, - then after if you drive it hard a lot I would use a high flowing K&N - if you drive more modest I would go with a Puro for filtering more. These are of course all just my opinions...
