I replaced my stock air filter element on my 02 F-150 truck with a K&N element and could tell a difference. I then found a test where Amsoil foam filters flowed better. I bought one and installed it. I had to clean my MAF with the K&N to improve the idle. I haven't had to do that with the Amsoil one yet. The air box is modified where the element is open to the air instead of restricted with the factory opening.
