Would you get a K&N air filer for your Outlander IF one comes out?

About K & N Air filters.   Would you get one.   Why and why not?

To add to this:
if you want one? **SOON**, head over to the web site and put a boot on their butts by clicking here------> "No product shown for your vehicle? Recommend one & we will notify you when it is released!"

oh I wish.
Then again, I would really like an AEM Cold air V2 intake

I've been in touch with K&N as soon as I knew about the new Gen Outlander...just like I did with the first Gen. It'll take a little bit...but it'll be worth it.
 

From the test that i read K&N filters let alot of stuff get through. I would rather buy a full cold air intake and get rid of the stock intake system.

I'm sure you'll be able to make one before a real intake comes out.

they're basically a total waste of money.

The K&N I think is worth it...the intake I would say is a total waste.

K&N drop in filters are good for the average joe who wants better fuel economy and nothing else.
K&N intake kits are useless.
Cold air intakes are great. more power, better fuel economy, and all that cool aluminum piping.

  I have had one too many bad experiences with cold air intakes that are routed to the bottom of the car. I hope something is deviced were the air can be drawn from the front of the car, or some kind of cooled intake that stays in the top section of the engine bay,  I will never go back to bottom routed intakes. Oh, and yes I did have a bypass valve, that didn't do much, I did not hydrolock the car, but it swallowed enough water, I guess misted water, enough to stall it and shut off. Luckylly after an hour of waiting for a tow truck the car started back up... it was the scare of a lifetime with my 04 ralliart.

LOL, never had that happen to one of my cars, but I was in my buddys car, and it was raining cats and dogs. We were crossing over to broadway from church in nashville, and caught a HUGE puddle. bam. Locked up and destroyed the motor. Its funny now, but looking back on it, it wasnt all that funny.
After that, and a new motor, he still wanted one, but had a great idea. He made 2 cuts in the pipe bout 5-6 inches apart in the middle of the intake pipe. If it rained hard, or for more than a day, he would pop the hood, remove the center section, and slide on a stand-by filter he kept in his trunk. Didnt have to worry bout it, and when it dried out, he popped off his standby filter, and dropped in the center section. worked great for him.

Wow, lively discussion. Seems like a 50/50 for and against K&N.   I like K&N, but maybe it is not what they make it cracked up to be.   I requested they make a K&N for the '07 Outlander anyways.   Thanks for the input!

Why did you go into water with an intake that was low enough to suck up the water?

I didnt, he did. He wasnt familiar with the area, and the hole didnt look that bad. (one of those holes in a hole thing)
The funniest part, like 5 minutes before we had been talkin about hydrolock, and he was buggin cause he thought just rain would do it. I told him he would have to be in a deep amount of water, and it would have to get sucked up for it to happen. When I saw the puddle, I was yelling at him to go around it. He drove straight through that bitch. ran for like 2 more seconds. funny as ****.
