Default Add a K&N Filter or Not
I've been seeing a lot of talk about K&N filters. What is the concensus on them? Are the beneficial or are they harmful to the MAF?
Please respond if you're using one and have not had any issues.

thanks,
Dan

oiled filters are not a great idea with our MAF sensors

I recently switched back to an Audi-issued filter from the K&N. Acceleration feels smoother with the paper-type, as opposed to the oiled.

I am about to customize a cold air intake filter to add extra HP.

sincerely doubt you'll see a lot on a CAI, but it always looks neat.

Default Mafs G/s increase when switching from oem to K&N, so it does flow more.
My Maf G/s went up about 30 when switching from oem to K7N
