What is a K&N filter and why is everyone talking about it? Do I need one for my Grand Prix?
K&N is an aftermarket manufacturer of air filters for your car. The air filters from K&N provide higher flow (and thus increased power, although maybe not noticeably) of air to your engine. The more air your engine has to use, the more power it will output. You don’t necessarily need one for your Grand Prix, but it’s not a bad idea. The filter is re-useable and can simply be cleaned and put back in (as opposed to paper filters like your stock filter that must be discarded at certain intervals). Also, some studies have shown K&N filters to be more efficient filters (that is, they filter better than paper OEM-style filters). You can buy a K&N filter right here online (either drop-in replacement or cone-type) in the PFYC.com’s Grand Prix Store.
