    A must read article on the web, just type that in search and read it. I use to run K&N in all my cars but took them out after reading it. Unless you have done major performance mods all you are doing is letting in a lot of dirt into your engine. I am a GM Parts manager and use to sell lots of K&N filters but the stock A/C Delco is the best!!

    So if you do major mods the dirt will magically fly back out of the filter?

    Right... its called oil the filter properly.

    99% of the people here interested in anything remotely close to performance don't even have their stock air boxes anymore.

    I did have a K&N filter over oiled from the factory and had to clean the MAF sensor within a few weeks. The regular paper filters seem like less of a hassle to me.

    ^^I realize a stock L36 is not as fast as the sticker implies, but this sticker has worked and it is still a hell of a lot of fun to drive considering it's a grocery sedan.

    When it comes down to CLEANING yes the stock paper air filter does a better job.

    K&N is a combination for airflow and cleaning.

    Now if you want the flow of a K&N and the cleaning of a paper air filter go with amsoil filter.
