I haven't seen any detrimental effects on any V8's (yet). Remember, the
filter is still in place, so the only "problem" would be that you wouldn't
get the benefit of cooler ram air from the front of the car. Most aren't to
enamoured with K&N -- aside from letting more air flow through the element,
larger and potentially more damaging particles can also get through... A
clean OEM filter element is still best IMO.
