2 questions...Amsoil Air Filter/Bug air deflector/dam (Audi A4) S40-V40 2000

...someone mentioned a Amsoil air filter "TS118" as having a higher CFM and better filtering capability than its counterpart K/N filter! Any thoughts?? Also, as my S40 approaches 50k, I have noticed a lot of tiny scratches/pit marks and chips on the leading edge of my hood and around the top of the grille. I am entertaining the thought of installing one of those plastic bug/air deflectors if one will fit! I don't think anyone makes them for the S40, But what about the Audi A4????? I think I've seen them and their hood and grille design is almost identical to the S40........? Do these things really work and what is the effect of the change in air flow over the car? Thanks in advance, Bill

    The AMSOIL air filter and the K&N will have almost the same air flow when clean.
    As the filters collect dirt, the AMSOIL filter will flow more air longer.

    The AMSOIL filter will take out more and smaller particles than will a clean K&N.

    One item you should investigate is a set of die cut clear plastic sheets that cover almost the entire front of your car. I had a similar material in front of the rear wheel wells on my old Suburban, and twelve years old they looked fine.

    My dealer has these on the cars in his showroom and it is really hard to even find the edges of the sheets.

    I'm sure that Volvo gets megabucks for these, but perhaps they are available in the aftermarket.

    I have heard that on the Amsoil filter. I have a K&N... I also had a clear bra added to my white 97 GLT. I like it the best because it's not really noticeable.
