It was installed at 30K and my car now has 53k and nothing has gone wrong. Almost all the issues with K & N air filters related to over oiling it. So as long as you order a new one and make sure no oil is dripping off of it you will be fine. I highly recommend just ordering a new one instead of cleaning the old one,just because its alot more cheap then a new MAF. It helped the throttle response a little,but I wouldnt say it gained on the butt dyno. I say the lovely touch it adds to the exhaust is well worth the money on its own.
