k&n or spectre air filter?

[M1000Mod162]

What air filter would be best? Kit came with the spectre but I bought a k&n thinkin it would be better but I'm having second thoughts! Does anyone have any experience with both?
Thanks Ryan

K&N cost me a bit of power on the stage II cutler.

I pulled my specter off and am just running a standard intake cover and prefilter. No need for a fancy filter that restricts flow

I ran the stainless spectre and then switched to the cage and prefilter. I didn't notice any difference in performance or any extra crud in the turbo intake.

I like how light and simple the new setup is. Next goal is to find a nice light 4" elbow to turn the filter up and do a bit of fresh air intake scenario.

Frozenturbo.com has a lot of different fittings. Last year I got some new hoses for a pretty good price from them.

Yeah that's what I meant. The frozen turbo is what happened two years ago when my bearings went bad.

Does anyone have a prefrence or have a idea what would be better? The spectra or the k&n? I know the prefilter with a cage is likely best and eventually I will put one on but for now I have both k&n and automotive spectre! I don't really like spectre it doesn't fit very good and the filter spins while sled is running at idle!

They should both restrict flow equally. Flip a coin.
