Interesting thread.
Personally imho I don't believe the K&N filters offer ANY benefit, both in fuel savings or horsepower gains.
Here is my opinion,
The auto manufactures spend billions in research and development to squeeze every ounce of HP or fuel mileage gain out of their engines. But someone goes to a store and buys a $50 filter and it magically increases HP and provided noticeable fuel savings. If only these R&D departments/manufactures did the same!! hmmm wonder why they don't?
Second, you don't get more airflow simply by allowing your vehicle take in "deeper breathes" you still need to "exhale". putting a K&N without upgrading the exhaust, exhaust manifold, tuning the computer, changing the cam etc etc etc you are not doing anything but wasting $50
