Recommendations on green air filters (or not)???

[vette99coupe]

Saw a demo at Carlisle fairgrounds today for the green air filters. It was impressive (but the most product demos at things like that are meant to be impressive).

I've also done some reading on them and from what I've read they seem to be a good thing so far as longevity, better mileage, increased horsepower and not to mention good for the environment since you don't have to buy any more filters.

I am looking for people who've used them and can give an honest opinion on what you think of them personally. I want to hear from the customers not the sales people or the websites that push these products.

If you've used a green air filter in your C5 I would like to hear what you think of it (good or bad).

Thanks

green ?
link or pic ?
is it a gauze type ? or a foam
usually gauze is pink or blue
I've seen red and green foam filters but on motorcycles (dirtbikes) but not cars

You mean this?

I tried one on my c5z. Did not like the fit (sealing). You had to trim some tabs (instructions) to make it work.

I called & told them & they were nice, said they were switching to some new molds for c5 for better fit, so they knew of the issue.

I stuck with K&N (don't over oil). Had them on about 6 cars, good fit, good company.

CLEAN stock paper filter will flow as good, but not when dirty.
