People are so serious when it comes to their k&n. lol I guess they are mad that they got ripped off.
People buy the k&n oil filter because it says performance on the side of it.

You know whats funny, All these people saying K&N are crap, and I still havn't seen any proof that paper is better, not one test, not one review, not one educated example.
SO this post means exactly NOTHING.
might as well be arguing what is the best color to paint a car.

This first one seems like a good test, I just don't know of any of the other filters.

The second I think is ok, but he tested it by driving for 500 miles whic I think is a bad idea because of the variations you would get in environment.
Ill see if I can find any more.

The second one is a better test, and it still shows that the Kn is letting dirt and everything through and he assued you that it was serviced properly.

Are you talking about when he said "there are plenty of tests vie interweb"?
Cause thats not provided info, I know there is info out there.
or did I miss some test results that were posted?

Truth is unless there is nothing else left to modify and you really need every last bit of air then a k&n type filter will help.
In order for it to flow more it will let more particles through. Paper flows less so it lets less particles through.
However its a marginaly difference in power and not worth the money. But they to each his own.
