Noob Question] Air filter and cabin filter different things?

[g_robinson]

Just wanted to make sure before I buy them both.

and also,
is K&N filter worth extra money? I searched a bit and saw some posts about it messing up the engine?
Is that true?

Thanks in advance.

Yes two different things.

One is simply controls what/ how many particles and such come into the cabin of your car, and the air filter goes in the stock airbox and is said to be less restrictive than the stock air filter in the OEM airbox.

cabin air filter is for your vents and filters the air coming into your air vents to keep them clean and smelling good. Your air filter is your engine air filter, keep that clean so it doesnt FOD out your engine. And K&N air filter is deff worth the extramoney, even tho its not really any more money, pretty cheap imo.
