or get whats recomended by EVERY other member of the z community, a JWT....

Seriously, just buy a K & N recharge kit, u will be able to use it more than once.... and get a JWT, they don't come Pre-oiled but it isn't THAT expensive for the kit and it comes with oil. You oil them for it help catch more gunk (is my understanding).
