I actually took my K&N out today. Looking at it I could see VISIBLE holes in the filter element, which DUH allows LOTS of dirt through. I feel a lot safer with that paper element!!

It does make the car louder out of the air intake, by quite a bit actually. It makes it resonate a lot more.

Theres a spot on the K&N that is dirty and then a spot that's not. Which doesn't make sense to me... but the damn thing didn't give me any performance difference at all (well I guess I will see when I drive it today with the paper filter) but my mileage didn't change any either. I just dont want to start burning oil sooner than I have to!
