For $2700 would they really ship it with something that cost them more, and didn't filer?
They round to an integer anyway, I doubt it makes that much difference.

I think the deal is most don't know how to clean them properly. It says right on them, DO NOT USE GAS, but everyone i know but me uses gas to clean them. The filter cleaner actually gets it cleaner than gas. I think gas degrades the filter as well.
Right, and if you do not do it exactly as they say.... no filtering. The oil traps the dirt and not the filter. Frankly, with proper care I'd be afraid to have a diesel sucking oil in to the intake :S.
I'm just saying what I have read from tests not done by me. Quote from: 745 turbogreasel on January 11, 2013, 09:48:08 pmFor $2700 would they really ship it with something that cost them more, and didn't filer?To get higher net power gains? I wouldn't put it past them .
Another good point, What is the point? Are we building extreme power engines? No. Has big power been proven on much cheaper no maintenance OEM paper filters? Yes. Reason for K&N on any car on this board? None.
Then I'll save the $43 over a paper filter .
No advantage to an inter-cooler on a Naturally Aspirated engine. Also I have heard and read a K&N is really no good. Sure it flows a butt ton of air, but how do you think it does it? At the loss of filtering ability. A stock paper element will be more than enough for any stock to mild build.
