All my vehicles are running on K&N filters. This is the best price anywhere. 2006 Honda Civic gained 3 miles per gallon, from 39 to 42 mpg highway driving. Shipping cost are within reason. Thank You.

I have used K&N filters on my last 3 vehicles over the last 7 years ranging from pickup truck to sport car and they do work to allow more air into the intake. On every application I used these filters, I can tell the throttle response is faster and my mileage did improve slightly - by about a mile per gallon or so.

When I read some of the reviews on the various sites, some drivers say they get 3 - 4 mpg more. I've never found this to be true. If it was, with the price of gas in CA being over $4.50 per gallon, I'd think all the SUV dealers and automotive manufacturers would put these filters into all their vehicles to push their SUVs out the door - wouldn't you?

Most likely, the reviewer's car was probably new and was still being broken in and the increase in 3 - 4 mpg was attributed to the breakin period along with a little boost from the K&N.

I like the K&N filters and have used them for a long time in all my cars. They save a lot on filter costs over the life of the car and gets me a little bit more on mpg. They never caused any problems in any of the cars I owned, but I don't drive off road or in dusty rural areas either.

Hope this helps.

After being informed by a Honda Dealership that I needed to replace my air filter (and them informing me that they wanted to charge me +$75 to do this), I decided purchase and install this K&N Air Filter in my 2006 Honda Civic EX in an effort to save money.

Included in packaging:
1. K&N Filter
2. A sticker to place on your air filter housing that reminds mechanics not to replace and throw away your K&N Filter (the filter is reusable: simply wash, dry, and replace when dirty).
3. Instructions and care information

The installation of this filter was extremely easy and took less than 5 minutes to complete (no tools required).

Upon installation, I immediately noticed a slight change in performance in my Honda Civic. I am averaging 1-3 additional mpg per fill up after the installation.

The true beauty of this filter is that it is reusable. Whenever you are due to change your air filter, simply remove your K&N filter, run water through it in order to remove the dirt build up, and let it dry before reinstalling. Buy this filter and you should never have to replace your air filter in your car again for as long as you own your car ($ saver).

If you are not a "do it yourself" type person, I would still buy this filter on Amazon and have your local mechanic install it for you. Shoot...hire me and I will install it for you (sorry I don't come cheap)!

Sure this filter is more expensive than most other filters out there, but if you purchase this filter you should never have to replace your air filter ever again. This filter will not only save you money in the long run, but it will improve your mpg performance (roughly 1-3 mpg for me).

I highly recommend this filter!

I bought two of these, one for each of the Hondas that I own. I bought them so service people wouldn't try to sell me an air filter when I didn't really need one. I plan on giving them a cleaning once a year, in the summer, then I'll always know their actual condition. As far as horse power and fuel economy gains? I don't hold out much hope. A standard air filter flows air very easily, and this won't change that appreciably. I had a K&N intake 'kit' on a Camaro I used to own, which included an entire new intake duct and large conical filter, which probably made a small difference in economy and power. The more highly modified your engine is, the bigger the gains would be - stock: not so much. (If you put a stock intake and air filter on a Sprint Cup car, it would fall on it's face from lack of air.) Without changing the convoluted stock ducting, I don't think it's likely to make a 'seat of the pants' noticible change in power or economy.

If you are looking to get a little better fuel economy from you car, this is one of the simplest and cheapest ways of doing it. I have put K&N filters in all of my cars and this one is going into my 2006 Honda Civic.

Thank goodness for the fine people at K&N....my vehicle can now breathe and gets the horsepower that it's supposed to !

This drop-in replacement fit my 2006 Honda Civic EX perfectly, taking only 3-4 minutes to install (no tools required).

The fit is just as good as the Honda OEM filter. The filter is notably skinnier than the standard filter.

Throttle responsiveness immediately felt peppier-- a quicker response when pressing the accelerator, a little more power on call (granted, the replaced air-filter was moderately dirty) But, the car hasn't felt this peppy since it was new.

Unlike others here, I have not noticed any notable variation in gas mileage. No noteworthy change in engine noise.

My only complaint is, why didn't I get one of these earlier, having been through a number of Honda OEM filters in the car's previous 79K miles? I put the included "don't throw me away" sticker on the airbox, hopefully the Honda dealer's technicians will respect that when I have the car serviced.

Highly recommended.

Easy drop in replacement for my 2009 Honda Civic LX. Mileage is same as before, but I like the idea of a re-usable filter.

Amazon once again came thru as the low price leader for this type of product. I always check Amazon first!

I recently replaced my factory filter on my Civic. Changing the filter was a breeze less than 5 mins. I experienced instant improvement in power when escalator is pressed. Seriously guys its the easiest DIY for your car. Don't throw away your money at the mechanic.
