[s-cars] Re: MAF foul up

[jimk at spotgraphicsinc.com]

If the maintenance of the K & N filter is so finicky that it could hurt the
MAF this easily, what's the point?

- They (clearly) do a good marketing job.  However, nothing ever got damaged
in various VW's I had with K+N's, but I am not sure they used the same kind of
MAF.


After all, are there any really
significant gains to running a K & N filter?

- Significant?  No.  Any?  Not that I could tell by my seat of the pants.

If there are quantifiable
results, please post 'em.  There's no real difference in the seat of the
pants analysis, does the dyno tell otherwise?

- I've never seen any, and based on my experience, would probably never again
buy a non-stock type filter for an otherwise normal street car no matter what
a dyno shows.
