I know everyone going say go for the intake/tune but i just dont have the money right now and my air filter is dirty. I was just wondering if its worth getting an aftermarket air filter like from k & n or green?

Save your money for the CAI & tune. The drop in' aren't worth the money.

Amsoil air filter is better than K&N.

I know, i would love to buy a intake/tune but that almost 700 bucks for a good combo and a drop in is like 30 or 40 bucks. I plan on getting a intake/tune, but i just dont have enough money for it. I check my air filter today (30,000+ miles of hard driving) and its dirty!
So i plan on going to pep boys w/ the honda boys and buy my self a drop in for now. I know Pboys sell green peft, and k & n. I'll check to see if they have Amsoil.
any suggestion on which one i should go w/ between green or k&n?

I've never used the green. I used a K&N drop in, worked fine. You can only get an Amsoil filter from Amsoil I think.

The drop-in buys you NOTHING in the way of performance. One of the combos from Brenspeed is under $600. Save the $40 and put it towards the combo. That's almost 10% of the cost. With you're attitude, it'll take twice as long until you can afford the combo.

Do what Mishri did. Pimp yourself on the nearest street corner.

lol, pimp my self(dont us dude's have hard enough time getting women, now i have to charge them?...lol). I all ready got the drop in k&n. Whatever, my used air filter was ditry! so i got the drop in for 40 bucks plus another 20 bucks off since i had a pep boys gift card. So i end up paying 20 bucks.
Funny thing was when i pulled up, there was a s197 6cyc, a 97 cobra and a lighting...no hondas... However when i went to the book to look up my #'s for my car air filter, it was left on Honda section, lol.

I'm pretty sure most of your customers would be jons or johns. Women don't pay for sex, not even the fat ugly ones.

I'll be in NJ Friday, if you want to meet up with me, I'll give you a K&N drop-in performance filter (new) for free .....just 'cause I'm a nice Guy.
PM me if this sounds good to you.
