i dont mean to offend anyone with this, but i think too many people on here are paranoid about k&n's.
when my engine dies, it will be because i broke the crank from beating on it too much or i will blow a head because it got too hot. it wont die on me because i ran a k&n and let a minute amount of dirt through.
a paper filter costs 25 to 30 dollars depending where you go for my truck. the k&n only cost 50. it doesn't take too many miles to make the k&n look like a bargain. and the k&n for my truck has a better seal on the intake tube. it uses a hose clamp to make a very tight seal. the paper filters just slide on.
and whoever says that k&n's give no performance gains, they are wrong. i put the paper filter that i had in my truck before the k&n was installed and i took note of how much boost i could get. then i put the k&n in, which had 8,000 miles on it and has never been cleaned, and i could consistently get an extra pound of boost. that is a lot when your talking about a truck that makes only 10 pounds of boost.
this is not directed towards anybody in particular, i am just stating my opinion.
