K&N Stock Replacement Air Filter

I don't have money to shell out for an AEM intake right now so I just bought a stock replacement K&N filter. It helped on my '98 Civic.

Just wondering if anyone has done this and feels a difference? Or did I just waste $50?

more like 81 Euros for me

no difference at all. But you don't have to buy those paper filters anymore.

How about going for the K&N's AirCharger kit??? I think it is a little over $200.

More info: http://www.knfilters.com/aircharger/63-1040.pdf

Does anyone use this setup and realize any gains???

I think the general concensus is that intake changes rarely improve performance, as it seems honda has already wrung every last bit of performance out of this thing.. although a big cone filter will definitely make it louder.
