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.
