Air Filter
So I have and injen CAI and was wondering if there'd be a difference if I replaced the injen air filter that came with the intake set up with a K&N one. I'm just curious cause I know be always talk highly of the K&N air filters.

People buy the AEM's for the fact they dont have to be reoiled.

buy reoiling kits.

Wash the filter down with a hose.

Let it air dry.

Reoil it.
