Have a 2025 TPP. Just put in a K&N air filter for about $50. Seems to breathe better and maybe adds a couple HP. I like to think it does lol.
I have the washable K&N air filter in my car. Buy it and the cleaner and never get tricked into a new filter again. Wash it every 6 months (fall and spring for me) and it’s as good as new.
I’ve run K&N on every vehicle I’ve owned for over 20 years. Without issue. If I known I’m going to be off-roading for a weekend, I clean and oil it before and after. If you live in dust all the time then stay paper. If you highway drive 6 days a week and try to get off-road occasionally got K&N
I have used K&N's in a few vehicles over the years - no problem with them for longevity, and no complaints about performance (hp difference is negligible and over the longer term, they don't not appear to have contributed noticeably to any additional engine wear)
Mahle is decent i believe they are OEM supplier for BMW and alot Europe vehicle as compared to Acdelco for GM and domestic vehicles not talking filters just in general there.
I'd just go with the K&N as you seem to want the best bargain for the $. These K&N filters are very good and will be the last time you buy a air filter. Simply next time you need to replace what I do is spay clean through both side with a garden hose. Air dry, spray a lil oil on it "k&n" re-oil. The oil is what collects the dust. And reinstall back in the car. Plus there proven to add 1 or 2 HP.
I actually use one in my 21 Civic type R, recently cleaned and reinstalled for the 3rd time.
Been using a K&N on my car since 1996 or 1997 when my car had around 90k miles. Car currently has 505k miles. I clean it once a year. It flows like a new paper filter even after 20k miles. I still use a paper filter whenever I have to wait for the K&N filter to air dry after cleaning it.
I use to run K&N on a few cars, until I realized how dirty the intake tract was post filter. I still run one on my supercharged car because it fits well and lets be honest looks good, but on my daily and SUV I want to last a long time I stick with paper.
I have the k&n filter and I don’t notice a difference, the only upside would be you can clean it and reuse it but other than that there’s not much of a difference than a paper filter
K&N air filter is rated as the worst thing you can put on your vehicle. We tested different 'cold' air intakes when I went to Nascar Tech and K&N will take away around 8 horsepower.
I had a Jeep with a K&N air filter with the "do not discard- permanent filter" stickers on the air box. I loaned it to a friend for a few months, and to thank me, she took it in to get the oil changed. They told her the air filter was oily and needed replaced, and she told them OK.
