ummmm am i the ONLY person who read this as "My next oil change and OIL FILTER"

Becuase knowing polo, maybe he doesnt know that there is an oil filter and an air filter? everyone seems to think becuase he said k+n filter that he knew what he was talking about?

Well I think that I am not the only one who noticed that he DIDNT say oil filter, just "filter" and the title of the thread says "k&n air filter, r they good?"

you know what, even tho a sri sucks in "hot air" theres dyno test showing the difference between the 2 for hp and theres basicaly no difference

Could be right to some degree, but then it would also depend on the car. I have a dyno chart of a modified Z car. The 2.4L bored and stroked out to 2.8L with a few other gizzmos. A dyno with and without the air filter.
In the biginning, without the air filter seems to only be giving an extra 1hp, but once it gets to the top of the power band, with and without the air filter are pushing the same hp. Though at redline, without the air filter, the vehicle is pushing 8hp more.

Seems to also be only 1ft.lb of torque increase on the no filter test through out the RPM range.
The car pushes 220hp and 210ft.lb so it is a fairly powerful engine.

I personally think that if it had a turbo, things would really change in favor for the no air filter.
