K&N Air filter upgrade worth it??
Hi Folks,
Heard a lot about the K&N filters...many people on this forum believe that the K&N filter makes a difference in performance. My 99 2.8Q A4 needs a new air filter, so before I replace it I'd like to know if installing a K&N filter will make a noticable performance difference? I probably can't go wrong either way given the low price of the K&N, but what should I look for in potential performance change?
Thanks in advance.

I had K&N in my car for a year.....
washed it and re-oiled it once. Thankfully did not have problems with MAF sensor. I decided to put a stock paper filter in to see if I could feel a difference.
In my experience, there was no difference between K&N and stock. Since it is a PITA to wash, dry and re-oil the K&N, I decided to just stick with stock filter.

That's what K&N claims.
