You have seen MAFs that don't work because the wires were contaminated by the cleaning mineral oil used in the K&N or there was something wrong with the K&N, or the poor MAF just reached the end of its life.
Am I in the minority that a properly cleaned K&N airfilter lasts for quite awhile?
Why is it an axiom of human nature that if some is good, more is better? It does not work for medicine and it dont work for auto mechanics. Try that with motor oil and see where it will get you.
Cleaning and drying a K&N airfilter is not a difficult task but it seems many "intelligent people" can't seem to read the easy instructions and follow them.
If you are in that catagory, well there you are.
I am a happy customer of two K&Ns. They work well and continue to do so. Anybody who says neither does not know the product nor how to use it. Enjoy your paper filter. See if it makes decent coffee.

K&N filters might be OK around NYC but if you tried using one in outback Australia, where roads can have bulldust (like talcum powder) a foot deep, then your K&N would be totally clogged within a few miles, that's after letting in enough dust to do some serious damage. A good quality off-road Paper Air Filter can be blown out, and the Donaldson's on my Mack truck got dry-cleaned once a month and they lasted a couple of years or a million Klms or so. I had A cold air induction on my BA Ford Falcon GT (5.4 quad cam V8 290kw) and a K&N air filter, performance gain with this system was 18kw at the rear wheels extra. The engine was replaced at 15,000klms because of an oil consumption problem. If you could have seen the grit and grime in the plenum and the inlet trumpets, you would not use a K&N, as I don't, Regards Frank.
