Re: Which is better K&N or RAM??

[xjosh <xjosh@xxxxxxx>]

I've only had the Ramair filter for a few days. Kind of an unfair 
comparison, really. I had a K&N in the stock airbox and now have the 
Ramair open cone filter. I'm trying out the cone filter as a winter-only 
filter unless I make a heat shield. So far, when cold, I think I get a   
little more "oomph" from the Ramair. But, again, it's a different 
filter/airbox design. Many folks think the Ramair to both flow and filter
better than K&N. Either way, it's fairly inexpensive to try either, I'd
think. I know K&N filters for most VW's are in the $30-40 range. (Excuse
me, but I'm a VW guy, so all my experience is there. My wife has a E36
318is, so that's why I'm here.) I think Ramair is not too much more.
