Anybody have any opinions on K&N air filters and the claims of increased power and gas mileage? Thanks

JFK,
So, if you were considering purchasing a K&N cold air induction system, you would not review what the manufacturer had to say ??? :h Not sure I understand that logic.
To the original poster... do your own due diligence, opinions from forums are worth what you pay for them.
Good luck.

Gee, I guess marketing and advertising are worth what you pay for them too? Nothing at all, but product puffery. I can't think of a single application for a car that needs a K&N air filter. Not a single person that has a K&N air filter has ever sent it into the lab for testing, so see how much dirt it does NOT filter out.
They should be called K&N Sieves. Hold one up to the sun, and see how much daylight comes through the pores. To HOW many microns filtration does a K&N catch 99% of the dirt, dust and debris? Compare that to a paper air filter. There is no comparison.
I find K&N filters for people not willing to validate their claims, until product life failure, and failure analysis. They have blind faith in marketing and advertising. I believe the term is "gullible"?
