I got my K&N from a place in NY mail order. I don't have Euro Car on hand
and cannot remember their name. I paid $45 including shipping. (87 5000S
non-turbo)
This place also advertises for plug wires. (the blue ignitors???) Someone
posted that these wires were around $100 for an Audi 5 banger.
I put the K&N filter in at 60k miles and probably not have to deal with it
till at least the 100K checkup.:-)
