The great filter debate.

More air and fuel equals more HP and less reliable. Restricted air and fuel equals less HP and more reliable. Period.

The air filter subforum needs more discussion of real air filters, and fewer of this repetitious kind of thread.

That's good, the vast majority I saw with the K&N type filters that you oil showed otherwise. Experts I spoke with over the years recommended against them as well, so I'll pass on the supposed HP increase for better filtration. Oh and last I looked something like a Fram air filter is cheaper too. I've I were racing a car, I might think otherwise, for daily driver, no thanks.

People say this but where are all the UOAs with K&Ns showing the negative results?

What fun is less hp and more reliable? Haha

As mentioned in most of these air filter threads, it also depends on where the less efficient filters are being used. K&N gauze & oiled type air filters are better used on paved race tracks rather than in the Baja 1000 for instance.

For sure. Driving around suburban VA...not a lot of dust.
