Statistic's show they flow more air and clean better than paper filters with the added bonus of longer life. The catch you have to be willing to clean and maintain them.

If you believe you can install and forget this filter like your paper filter. stay with a paper filter.
Though I've not personally used K&N filters, over the years on this forum I've read the posts of several diehard users who agree with this sentiment. They submit that, properly prepared and maintained, these filters do a good job. Me? I'm lazy...or, perhaps more accurately, have far too many other things on my "ToDo" list---I use the paper ones.
