So I am by no means an expert in measuring A/C temp, but I wanted to improve the A/C in my 23 as best as I can. So I did a comparison between the oem filter, no filter and then the K&N. It was odd that no filter came in second place but whatever. The K&N gave me the coldest reading while no filter gave me the second coldest reading vs the oem filter which gave the warmest reading. So supposedly I did it all wrong when I measured the A/C since I had it on recirculation but that's how i always use my A/C so idc. Hopefully this helps, that K&N is a great option because it's reusable. Oem filters are 25 bucks and seem to need replacing once a year. So 35 bucks for a better flowing filter which by my test gave me the coldest temp, and the fact that it's reusable is a win in my book. Also gives the cabin a clean scent.
Those of you with the muzzy coolant hack, I'd be curious to see what your temps are with the oem filter and basically a/c set to max just for reference.
