50% Hype, But the Remaining 50% is Still a great filter
First, this filter will NOT give you huge horsepower gains, it might give you minimal MPG gains just by replacing the filter from a dirty, clogged one, but that will come with any filter. I bought this filter because it does save money, money you would be spending buying paper filters over and over again, with this and a 10-15 dollar service kit, this filter will last your vehicles lifetime. There is a trade off though, this filter does not screen out dirt as well as say a "paper" or foam type filter, that is why "off roading" voids the damage warranty. however i never off road, and for highway and street use, this filter is King in terms of economy and durability (it is made of 4-5 layers of cotton encased with a aluminum wire mesh surrounded by hand poured urethane), they mean it when they say it will last a Million miles. This filter earns my recommendation.
Great Filter, As Long As It's Clean
Make no mistake, K & N filters are top notch, but beware of people who claim huge improvements in mileage and power (i.e. 10-15%). With the billions of dollars the auto industry has spent trying to improve gas mileage and power, every car made in the world would have these as original equipment if such gains were possible. If life were only so simple. People who replace a CLOGGED filter with a new one will notice an improvement (if it's clogged badly enough, the improvement might be that your car runs now). Definitely better than many in fit and quality, plus being reusable, but a magic bullet it is not. A clogged K & N filter will also cause performance problems, it's just that all you have to do is clean it properly, and you are off and running; whereas a paper filter, you have to throw it out.
Super-star air filter
The era of mandatory field-trips to the dealership for a new filter every 15,000 miles came to a close. Enter the washable convenience of K&N.
Installation intuitive, fit great, no snags.
Have not noticed significant difference in gas mileage, nor in dynamics of my 350-Z, but will continue to watch fuel consumption as the most likely area for improvement given my car's configuration.
Would pursue other mods,like exhaust mods for example, first if seeking fast and noticeable bump in power output.
Plan on buying 7 aire filters, just buy this
I have been trying to find a cheaper alternative to the KN, but when I looked at the price, it was the same as buy 7 Walmart fram air filters. I off road so go through filters fast (I know you are not suppose to use KN off roading, but I do). Decided to buy the filter and never think about the filter again.
better gas mileage
since I've installed this filter my gas mileage around town has gone from around 18mpg to around 22mpg!and I've done nothing else that would have effected the mpg!
