Hello...first post here!

I picked up a new to me - black 2007 Dodge Nitro SLT 3.7 with Tow packg. Very happy with it! Has only 50,000KM on it, and looks like new!

This is really my first vehicle woth doing any mods to it...want to start slowly.

What do folks here think of the drop in K&N Air filters that go into the existing air chamber...are they worth it?

K&N has a 1000,000 mile guaramtee ,who's going to keep a car that long ? You have a 07 with the tow package that's a plus ,you have a full size spare ,IMO just maintain it and keep it clean and save your $$.

I purchased a K & N filter in October for my 2008 Nitro SXT and the engine seems to run a lot smoother. In November I changed out my plugs(NGK) with Bosch Platinum IR Fusion plugs and WOW-what difference. It is like having 2 more cylinders under the hood and 3 more mpg.!!!

Performance mods run the gamut on cost but the drop in type high flow air filters are relatively inexpensive as these things go. Its all up to you, I have done a fair amount to my ride but not everyone does. Be careful as once you start to mod you may get bit by the bug and then it will be all over!

If you think you will actually be towing then maybe a couple of performance mods would be worth it.
