K&N filters bad?

[Kurt Deschler]

I have had good luck with UNI open-cell foam filters on motorcycles in
the past. Anything that can stop the dust kicked up by a dirt bike will
be more than enough for a car. If you read their FAQ, their bashing of
fabric filters is clearly taking aim at K&N. They do make 2.75-4"
clamp-on cone filters:
