MN,

I've heard this arguement posed by Porsche blogs everywhere, does experience count to you for anything? I have used these types of filters in a wide variety of vehicles over a 25 year period with no negative effects. As stated before, my father was a mechanic and car dealership owner for 40 years, never saw a problem related to the report you posted. If you do not like the product don't use it. There are many race teams using K&N and BMC, it seems doubtful they do it just for sponsor money, especially if what you posted is true. If you insist on judging the care given to the vehicles by people who do use them go ahead, I'm not asking you to drive or purchase my vehicle. As far as the blown MAF's go, I have read a plethora of other Boxster problems, RMS leaks, total engine failures, electical ghosts, if I internalized everthing I read I'd sell the Porsche and run...
