Hehehe, no need to kill a motor to convince your wife you need a new one, just unhook two plug wires. Thats what I did! Unless your wife is a gearhead and will know whats up, then your screwed.

K@N 2006 because it's not as restrictive as others and won't go into bypass mode as often under high rpms.

You must be overtightening it.

WIX for the win. Its cheap and filters out impurities really well.

Seeing so many people vote for the k&n got me interested so i decided to take a look at one. On the box it says it filters down to 10-20 microns. Anybody know how this relates to other filters?
