I've been thinking about finding an alternative to the Greddy filter on my kit. It's like absolutely useless at protecting the engine from dirt and what not. I figure if I could find an alternative the MAF would sense the drop in air flow, the ECU would adjust, and it'd be okay, I shouldn't need a re-tune.
Suggestions?

There's 3 variables:
A) Flow
B) Longevity
C) Filtering capability.
1) Foam/Oil =
-Need to clean it every 500 miles or less generally if it's dusty out
-Flows very well
-Filters very well
2) Paper/factory style =
-Replaced rarely
-Flows mildly well
-Filters very well
3)Cotton K&N style =
- Must be cleaned regularly when it looks dirty (<2000 miles I'd say)
- Flows very well
- Filters very poor.
Those are your general options.
