Wix air filters?
 
Looking at replacing the air filters in my 2009 370Z. Don't want K&N. Are Wix any good? Found them on the Checker auto parts website.

Pretty much the same paper filters that everyone else offers.

Not sure you why you dont want K&N but I would say their reutation is much greater than SWix, which I have never heard of. The K&N wont hurt your car and flow much better than stock. Some people think K&N ruin the car cuz of the oil but thats only when someone over oiled the filter when they cleaned it. Ive had K&N on my last three cars and never had a problem.

Just don't expect a noticeable HP gain if you go with KN. Paper air filters are fine. Not the same with oil filters.

Or, if they oil the wrong side!

HKS makes a hybrid (non oil) type filter. I was thinking of trying these out.

I'm not a huge fan of oiled filters.
