Wow! One year?!?! Shoot, I better not tell that to the K&N that's been on my
truck for over three years. It's not showing any signs of degrading. Bernd
can attest to this as he cleaned it for me while I was over at his house
last year. BTW, when I made my dyno runs, I made the last pass with the
filter removed just to see if it was a bottle neck. Nope, the truck turned
out the same numbers without the filter as it did with it. In my eyes,
that's proof enough that the K&N is more than capible of providing enough
air.
