K&N filtering capacity??
I am thinking of replacing the OEM filter with a K&N cone replacement filter. The increased air flow is a given but how well does the K&N filter dirt? I heard it does let a lot of dirt pass through.
Also, does anyone know the K&N part number that wil fit in the stock air box?? Thanks.

i'd recommend JR filter for the S. it uses ABS plastic housing instead of rubber, and i prefer the more rounded and smooth curvature of its collector/throat.

The JR and K&N type filters are "oiled" filters so even though they flow more air they filter just as good if not better. I ran the JR from Mingster for a long time in the stock air box. Even with the AEM CAI, I retained the JR filter instead of the K&N that it came with due to more square area of filtration. The other advantage, of course, is that you'll never need another filter again (till you change the intake 
).
If you want my AEM K&N filter (never used), call me but you'll have to do a slight modification on the connection because the open end is a bit too small for the stock box.

My K&N fit perfectly without any modification.

I have the K&N air filter and I think it works very well!
It has been proven that oiled filters are better. A stock replacement air filter is about $25 or so. I paid less than $50 for my K&N and like xviper stated, it's the last filter you'll ever buy for the S2000.

thanks guys. I already have the K&N cleaner kit so I'll probably pick up a replacement K&N cone filter then.
Dave, thanks for the offer, you should keep the one that you have for when you have to clean the JR filter, you need to take it off for a day or two so you should use the AEM one while you do that.
