1) You need an air filter element if you are going to drive your car. 2) K&N is NOT an option. 3) When I am driving my car, I don't care if the filter is orange, black, perforated, or mesh as long as it adequately removes particulate. 4) I would rather use a filter element I can get a replacement for rather than an OEM 'correct' element that I have to quit eating for a month to buy. 5) If it is that important to have an OEM 'correct' element, put one on for shows and then put it back in the box when you put the 'disposable' one on for the ride home.
