Should I get a Honda air filter or just any filter? Are certain filters better than others? 2003 Honda Civic EX.

thats what I have in my honda, and if you get one make sure you put the sticker on the filter case so it doesnt get changed by accident during tune ups or something.

You know what I realized. K&N for a stock replacement filter is a complete waste. Just get a stock one and be happy.

the sticker's proper location is on the hood...

nah its the little one that is shaped like a stop sign and says dont change this filter...the other sticker went in the garbage :)
thats the only mod (if you can call it that) that I have done to my car, I didn't really want the extra 15hp from the sticker on the hood.

I don't mean to bash, but installing that filter isn't a mod. Any power gains your made are so small you will never notice them. Plus, you're scarificing engine life for it.

Sounds like a winner to me:thumbsup::roll:

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with the K&N. You're better off with the stock one.
