I've just read this about K&N filters:

Sounds like bullshit to me, but they do have a point I reckon. Still won't extend the life of it though I reckon.

Hi

Tend to take it as BS. Might well filter out more rubbish but only by becoming more restrictive.

Easy to filter out all the rubbish, just stop the air getting through.

All the best

Ive heard that K&N's have excellent air flow properties, but they dont filter anywhere near as well as most paper or sponge filters, so yes they let more air in, but along with more dirt too! At least you can wash and clean them, every time they get dirty, so overall id still use them!
