One thing I haven't't seen, is any proof that allowing more "dirt" past the air filter causes any wear or damage to the engine. It may seem like something that must cause problems, but without proof that it does all the tests showing the amount of dirt allowed through mean nothing.

More air flow does equate to more power produced, generally speaking. I have plenty of personal evidence for that. I know that to be true.

All that said, I have never purchased a K&N air filter.

Do this. Take your best binoculars (the more expensive the better the lesson will be :B) and put a small amount of dirt on top of the lens.

Now take a quarter and lay it on top of the dirt and make small circular motions with the quarter for a few minutes. Now clean all the dirt off of the lens and take a look through it.

This is what is happening to the inside of your engine. Any more questions? :B
