FRAM PPA9838 Air Hog Panel Filter

I bought this filter for a 3.5L Chrysler 300.[...]I've read a few reviews online about cotton gauze filters like this one [or K&N, AEM, Kool-Blue] that say they let more dirt particles through than a paper filter does, so I was a bit skeptical. Nonetheless, I was very impressed with the product when it arrived. The fit in the Chrysler's airbox, the thick, sturdy rubber gasket, and the thickness of the filtration media were far superior to those of the oem filter the car came with. It's construction is far more robust and its materials and fit are much better. It looks like it cost roughly three times as much to make as a paper filter.I haven't noticed any difference in gas mileage, intake noise, or power. In fact most dyno tests with drop-in panel filters do not show more power. It's possible that throttle response may be slightly improved.One caveat with these types of filters is that cleaning and recharging them can be a chore. Also there is a risk that filtration will diminish after cleaning them because of possible damage to the microfibers that the filter is impregnated with. I think the main risk comes from improper cleaning though. Most used oil analyses conducted on cars running these filters do not show any appreciable increase in the concentration of insolubles or silicon particles that are believed to come from a poor air filter so I am comfortable using it. Also, you can typically drive twice as far on a cotton gauze filter without cleaning it as you would on a paper filter. I wholeheartedly recommend this product. It seems that the Fram Airhog filters offer the same quality as K&N or AEM, but at a lower price.

If you have a 08 Charger R/T Hemi this filter will not fit! The top right corner of the air box is angled and is not a 90 degree corner. If you try to make it fit it wil not seal.
