Jim,
so what would you suggest for the EVO intake? get rid of the k&n cone filter and get a paper cone filter?

Has anyone thought of using a Foam filter like the HKS filters?

I've used those in the past on my TwinTurbos and my GS-T with better results compaired to my very large K&N filter on the same vehicles as far as ease of acceleration.

I have K & N air filters installed on 15 of my limos, hummers, escalades, naviagators, lincolns, etc.

I put them there for the extra fuel economy (about 5%) which really adds up for limos driving sometimes 50k miles a year.

I also have had K & N air intakes on my previous 911 , and several of my cars.

All in all almost 10 years worth of using K & N's on different cars.

Never one probablem. Not one. The few added horsepower is as cheap of a mod you can get besides the $0 desnorkle which was dyno proven on this forum for 5-6 hp.

I have seen dyno tests on cars with the full K&N air intake system that adds over 20 horsepower.

I'm sure there are many members here that have K&N's on there boxster and have never had a problem. Sure don't over oil it when you clean them once a year, but overall its a very positive experience from me.

Running a K&N filter WITHOUT oil would probably be MORE harmful than with it. The filter is basically an oiled gauze type filter, meaning it's more open than paper type filters, but uses the oil as a way to trap particles.

The whole 'K&N Filters will muff up your MAF' is mostly conjecture. I ran one in my previous car that had a MAF, and never had problems.

You DO need to be careful when cleaning and reoiling so as not to get TOO much oil on the filter.
