Just curious...  |
Hey, I appreciate someone challenging 'opinion' based claims on the internet. I should have stated why. Here is why I made that statement. I elevate a couple of factors above others when considering a filter. For my performance vehicles flow rate is my number one consideration and as such gauze flows more than any other types. Whether you can utilize that difference in your particular setup is another matter. Most OEM intake setups will not benefit from changing from paper. Next is that I like my filters to be kept very clean, so paper filters I replace quite often where as the K&N I can wash and reuse and is more cost effective to me. Finally I like the build quality as many OEM types I've used have crushed and lost shape quickly. I'm sure it doesn't filter as well hence the requirement for oiling, but that doesn't play into my considerations.
