Had i a look at my K@N filter last week and Discovered it was Dirty and Due a Clean 
As i have run out of the Filter Cleaner and oil
and having had this in for 3 Years now
I thought it was time for a Change so i ordered a Piper Cross air Filter
I have never Tried this Brand so i will give it a go and see how it Compares.

The Filter out the Box looks well made and Uses Foam and oil to catch the dirt.    


   




And here is the old K@N it is really Dirty Considering i only Cleaned and oiled it last Year.





The Metal Threads on the K@N have always Bugged me as they do start to Fray over Time 
and that is a not the best Thing to Happen as you dont want Metal Fibers going in the Engine
The Piper Cross uses Foam and Plastic Mesh so no Problem there.
 
The K@N has captured dirt very well but it is a bit blocked by the looks of it now 
here they are side by side you can how dirty the K@N has got.



The Piper Cross is thinner than the K@N 
Time will tell how well it Compares and Lasts.
It is in the Car now i will Update at a Later Date.
