If you ever go for car servicing, and wanted to change your air filter, you might ponder over a different kind of air filter, and that is more than a normal air filter. What I mean here is high performance air filter which provides cleaner and higher flow of air into your engine.
When your air filter is dirty and you doesn't want to waste your penny on that petty stuff, think again. Not changing your filter is like not cleaning your nose to provide better air flow.
Don't use brands that offers unconfirmed standards or imitations. This is because they will expose your engine to more debris, dusts and contamination, which will result in poor performance of engine, and poor fuel efficiency.
A standard high performance air filter will increase 3-5hp of your engine, and provides better fuel efficiency(5% or more). Besides that, you don't have to change the air filter yearly as what the normal air filter needs. All you need to do is just clean it every 2 years. One of the famous high performance air flow brand I can think of is K&N Filters.
