Whats better a K&N o.e replacment filter or a k&n air intake kit?

i have a 2001 dodge durango and i have 77000 miles on it so i think its about time to change the air filter. so i was wondering what would be better to get . a kit that costs like 200 bucks or just a good quality filter replacement by K%26amp;n. i read the kit lets more air in because its a shorter distance to the engine blocks and better acceleration. but will a 40 dollar replacment k %26amp; n air filter give me the same results? thanks.

i own a 99 model ram 1500 and all i used was the replacement filter in it,and it helped it a lot,i noticed a small gain on mileage,and a about the same on take off power also,but i did get a little bit more mileage from it than from the old filters,and i have well over 100 k on it, now,so you may notice more of a difference than i did,they do work though and are worth the cost,good luck.

The whole system would be better for power. the whole system would be less restriced and suck in more air. the replacement k%26amp;n would still be better than stock, just not as good as a whole system. but the replacement k%26amp;n would be alot cheaper
if you ever look in the air hat of a 4.7 its a straight shot to the throttle body. I owuldnt get a K%26amp;N filter of any kind. I had one once and all it did was coat my tb and everything else in an oily gritty grime. liek I have said in the past you cant have better filtration and increase air flow at the same time. sounds liek these other poepel are going by butt dyno. seen people dyno stock filters and k%26amp;n replacement filters and showed no increase in HP or tourqe. also if you look on the box it states you MAY see an increse in HP and tourqe.



save your money and your engine and dont get a oil cotton gause filter. remember what you find in your intake finds its way in to your internals of your engines.
