I had one of the earlier K&N's that shrank. When I called K&N, they thought
it was something in the rubber compound. Don't think they were 100% sure at
the time. Maybe they did some analysis on the returned defective filters.
If so, they should be able to tell you something by now. If they are still
shrinking, you either received an older filter, or they need to further
their analysis. Either way, they should replace it under warranty. It is a
known problem.

I WAS IN THE POOL!!! I WAS IN THE POOL!!! :)

Seriously...I don't recall the reason for the shrinkage, but could it be
from getting the filters wet, then drying at relatively high temps? The
elements are cotton, correct? Can't tell you how many shirts I've
ruined because they were 100Uotton and I dried them too hot.
