I found the filter (PL-1003) for $31.99 but I can't find the pre-filter sock (PL-1003PK) anywhere. Can I reuse the stock sock?

 

yes.

 

w00t! Thanks man.

 

you dont want to use a pre filter with a k&n. it just slows the air flow. when the filter gets dirty use the k&n air filter cleaner to clean it and when it dries put the k&n air filter oil on it. when you buy the filter it already has the oil on it and that is what stops the dirt from getting through.

 

In dusty situations, the pre-filters are a good idea and they're so open they really don't affect air flow. They trap the larger particles that could really clog a filter. The advantage is you can clean them in a sink or anywhere without re-oiling so you can go longer between cleaning intervals.

I have K&Ns on all my vehicles (87 Silverado, 05 Corolla, 72 Chevelle) and have a recharging kit as well.

Funny misconception I've only found here is that some people think you only get one use out of the recharging kit.

 

lol i recharged mine twice and still have 3/4 bottle left on oil and cleaner

 

Exactly!
