[s-cars] K & N Filters

[Scott Munger]

Hap,
What air filter are you using?  Any empirical/anecdotal evidence?

The data about K&N steered me away from them in the beginning and I picked
up an Amsoil 2 stage filter based on their "tests" that they could filter
smaller particles for longer durations than paper filters.  But since the
tests weren't done by a non-biased party, I'm still skeptical.
