True story. I never expected any gains from the intake. I was after the sound.
That is interesting about the amount of dirt that gets by a K&N filter compared to a paper filter. I know that no increase in dust is good for an engine, but if the oil is doing its job, is it enough to ever cause wear that could be detected in 150K miles, assuming oil was changed at ~7500 miles and the filter was regularly cleaned? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
