I have put over 180,000 miles on my K&N filter. I have never had a problem with my MAF. I use the K&N cleaner and wash the filter let it dry on top of a fan and then spray oil it. This is a Nuespeed P-Flow intake that I have run on my car for over 6 years. If I was running my car in a high dust conditions like driving dirt roads eveyday than I would use the stock airbox with a paper filter changed often. But since I am running on pavement 99% of the time I use the K&N filter.

I used K&Ns for a long time, on my cars and motorcycles. I stopped when I had my 944 Turbo. I opened the airbox for a cleaning and noticed fine dust inside the airbox, on the clean side. Not good. I am not going to rest the fate of my engine on a few horsepower of claimed gain, or on my ability to evenly and adequately spray oil onto an air filter. Just my 2 cents.
