Yes just like anyother performance intake filter that doesnt come with a coat of oil....you run the risk of microscopic dust particles from the air going past the air filter, into your intake, and out your exhaust but the particles will be so small that it shouldnt effect anything....The stock filter does also allow some dust to go through, Pretty much there isnt an airfilter that blocks all 100% of dust in the air.
The K&N filter (while dry and oil free) can block fine sand and small, medium and large paritcles of dust, which is good enough for me. Im ok with microscopic dust particle getting through cause they wont effect your cars performance....i probably wouldnt recommend for box owners in very dusty areas though. I live in San Pedro so theres alot of moister in the air and that knocks alot of dust down outta the air.

Another person trying to defeat what the manufacturer intended. 
Are you serious?!?!?! K & N placed oil on the filter FOR A REASON!!! Then you come by...and by looking at it you determine that it'll stop certain particles not big enough to hurt your motor?!?! And then you can estimate that "Only 1-3% more particles are entering your intake"?!?!
This thread is great!!! The dust will "settle on the cyclindar walls when the engine stops but once the engine is running and igniting that feul, the dust will run its course through the head, then the cyclindar, then back out the head, then out the exhaust".
HAHAHAHAHAH!
Don't complain to anyone when you have problems my friend!
BTW--
The filter oil on the K & N will mess up the MAF...not the O2 sensors.

If you want real HP gains remove the air filter altogether.... Porsche was stupid for even putting one there in the first place.... it's obviously a reduntant part. The rest of the air box and MAS should keep out 70-73% of the rocks and small birds.

Actually, without the air filter, it can swallow your first born!

ok, haha to all that lol. Dont worry, if i have an issue related to installing the K&N filter. then Ill make sure to let you know so i can get an "I Told you so", but trust me, your alittle overvelous which isnt a bad thing....answer me a question will you: What do you all think of those $300+ intake kits? are they safer than using a oil free K&N filter?

For the most part, I think I am accurate in saying that the guys who have purchased the modified intake systems are NOT all that happy with them, ie, the money out vs the performance they have gotten.
It seems that Porsche has done a nice job on the stock breathing apparatus.
Others?
