K & N filter....who wants it?

Remember the primary purpose of any air filter is to FILTER
Which the k&n isn't particulary good at when compared to other filter types/materials.

An air filter is not the area that you want to look for Hp at. Air cleaning is what its all about.

you guys have way to much time on your hands I smash Brawney paper towels into my oil filter. I mean look at the name. ******* Brawney. It doesn't get any manlier then that!
Even the guy on the package looks like he'd climb a tall *** mountain just to take a leak off of it.

I have noticed that K and N is getting cheaper or something. I bought one four years ago and it was the exact same thickness as the stock paper filter. I bought one about a month ago and it is like a quarter of the thickness of the stock paper one.

New ford trucks paper filters are like 40-60 bux a piece, so its like 10 bux more for a K&N, and if you plan to keep the truck for a while 1> you dont have to worry about finding a store that has it in stock 2> you dont have to spend another 50 dollars. Both have their plus' and minus' but BOTH do filter which is why their called a AIR FILTER, and yea I feel dumber for reading this thread even though I skipped half of it
