would changing like a generic ebay filter change the sound as if i were to get a k&n filter? and how much do they usually cost, the k&n filters/

 

removing the resonator from the intake changes the sound, not the air filter itself. shop around for a price on a K&N filter.

 

It won't change the sound, and either filter will make the whistle sound unfortunately...

I just stuck with the generic filter on my ebay intake, can anybody verify if its ok to use the filter it came with or if it does a lot of harm to the engine as compared to a k&n?

 

yes can someone please verify

 

and what are the pros and cons on taking out the resonator

 

If you have an aftermarket intake they don't have resonators. He was talking about the stock intake. K&N filters run around 40-50 bucks I think. It won't change the noise for a different filter. And it won't hurt your car to use the filter that came with your intake, Only difference is flow isn't that great vs. A good filter. Better filters do filter the air better so I guess I'd advise getting a good one. Check out the Weapon-R Secret weapon filters. Good ****.
