Exclamation Ultimate Drop-In Air Filter Thread

Since I researched quite a few of the drop-in air filters available for our cars, I think this board needs a one-stop thread that lists out all of the options in one place. If I've missed a filter or you'd like more information, let me know and I'll update the list. I've updated the listing with typical pricing I found on the net, if you spend time researching you might find better deals. As for reviews of each filter type, this is something I can't really provide, but if any members wish to contribute feel free!

Which one is the best. I am thinking of getting the HPS silicone air intake tubes and a good set of drop ins instead of an air intake for $500 that barely give any gains.

Good idea to start a thread like this but it isn't helpful if we don't know how each performs. Googling drop-in filters would get us the same results.

I'm currently running a set of these and they are excellent high-quality reusable filters. Didn't see a huge gain because they are just drop-ins, but a nice 'dry' alternative to K&N.
