Never had an issue with K&N, and if it does get oil on the MAF, cleaning it is cheap and easy

cotton gauze filters aren't harmful to your air volume sensor or anything else because the oil in the filter can't be sucked out of it that easily. JP Performance mentioned that in one of his last videos and named K&N because they tested that with their own filters and nothing malfunctioned in their tests. they not only tried it normally with driving but pushed a lot of pressurized air through them and no oil came out but in extreme high pressures. also you usually don't have pressurized air infront of the filter but after it. so to conclude my comment ITS A MYTH. often other parts malfunction on tuned cars and its not the fault of the air filter. comment if you have new information

Uhh you do have higher pressure air in front of the filter compared to after the filter.

@wgrnoah it isn’t always true that oil in the filter can’t be sucked that easily! I replaced stock with stock type k&n oil filter and it ruined the maf sensor. I didn’t oil it even, I’ve just replaced it straight from the packaging.

I don't know that the foam can get clogged more easily. it may seem that way because foam filters are more commonly used on off roading vehicles.

I bought a Wix air filter recently, and it had a foam pre-filter (Ay yo dog, i hear you like air filters so i got a filter for your filter). I was wondering if I could just make my own with foam pre-filter with a similar sized sheet of foam from a fabrics store and cut it to size? (NOTE - I'm not going to use the foam alone, just make my own pre-filter and put it in front of the dirty side of the paper filter).

Any high rise filter setup is going to make more power, partly because of the cooler air draw but mainly it's the length the air has to travel and if it has basically a straight shot down to the runners. The farther the air has to travel and turn the worse off it will be making power. Sad to think how some turbo cars could have a straighter intake path and probably gain 15 hp at least and still make the torque you need on the street. It should be a no brainer but I'm not a engineer for an auto maker so what do I know.

Considering that even the crummy stock air box on a B5 Audi A4 with a 1.6 liter N/A engine is also used in the RS4, even 20+ year old cars were built with that in mind.

It makes me chuckle when people remove the stock airbox and all associated pipes bringing in cool fresh air, and replace it with a cone filter directly to the air intake, inside the enclosed hot engine bay. Thus creating a hot air intake.

When it comes to air filters, the more restrictive the better. (Within Reason) Unless you are at a dragstrip, the benefit of protecting your engine is going to far outwieght getting 9%more air into the airbox and three times as much dust. INcluding larger particles.

“Performance gains” Because a Bugatti uses 2 regular paper filters only twice the size as your average car filter. It’s been proven time and time again “performance” filters are a scam, can lead to sensor failure, and removes the water sump known as an air box.

My pipercross panel air filter started to fall apart after maybe 15kkm. Rubber frame cracked and foam started to fall apart, going through MAF to turbo. I was suppose to clean filter after 32kkm. Didn`t believe when i read same thing on internet so i bought it and it happened to me as well. My Pipercross is now where he belongs. In garbage

Foam air filters: -Flow better than paper or gauze -Filter about 50% better -Are almost impossible to block -Have a much higher carrying capacity An oil analysis is an easy way to measure the difference. 🙂 P.S. You need a thicker foam filter for dusty conditions... as some of the european foam filters are too thin e.g. Pipercross.
