[QUOTE="Twisted2, post: 16424512, member: 152625"] Good info. I'd be curious to try an Amsoil filter. I'd never considered them before. It was ordering a new paper filter yesterday, that got me thinking about this stuff. My Cobra had a K&N when I first bought it, but I chucked it years ago, as it didn't look too good. I don't remember much of a power difference when I went back to paper--at least not to justify the trouble. Before that, I used to put oiled-gauze filters in everything, almost mindlessly. Then after years of seeing traces of dust and oil that had passed through *some* of them, lost my taste for them. Admittedly, most of that goes back to my years as a motorcycle mechanic, pulling off (probably hundreds of) pod filters, and not always liking what saw. I also saw a lot of finely scratched/galled cylinders--not that I could ever verify were from gauze filters though. (I think carbon tears up cylinders even worse). Mind you, these were all open-element setups also--no airbox. Still, I was happy to go back to paper with the Cobra, and not have to wonder. I do think K&N's have a window--both in terms of service and lifespan--where they work okay. All of this is just one man's opinion though. I just got curious what others thought. Thanks for chiming in. Edit: Interestingly, on motorcycles, I did almost always notice a power increase after installing gauze filters and re-jetting carbs--often a significant one. I just didn't notice a difference like that on the Cobra, going the other way. Sent from my SM-G970U using the [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
