know they are not worth it. just buy a cone filter for s&b and put it on your stock intake tube, thats what i did and it cost me $35

i bought a green cone afe for 80bux and put it in the stock intake tube and it works great, i think k&n makes some of there filters for diesel so it might be good enough

Go with a AFE or a S&B for filter/ intake depending on the route you go. And the AFE intake are nice as well but I really like the CFM+ intake elbows

wait dean which K&N do you have? if you got the full cold air setup like I've got i'd say keep it i love mine and i now it's getting plenty of air and you can tell it really works well if you keep them charged like they are supposed to be
