Can you share your experience on K&N air filter? Would it help on a non-turbo model, A6 Avant?

Default I had one on my last 4.2 with no problems. It will help a little. Do not over oil and let it sit

all night to dry.

Default I've had one since Jan when I got the car, but...

I've had k&amp;n's in all my cars for the past 10+ years. No ill effects.

I have not measured for any hp/torque gains nor for air flow.

I had one for several years in my old Audi. I don't think it really did anything positive.

Same here. Nothing positive, nothing negative.

I have one. 0-60 from 18.7 to 18.6. You get a cool sticker and get to say you have a K&amp;N.

Default Would it be more cost effective because you only pay $10 for recharging it with ...

the assumption that you own your car long enough.

I'm going to spend my $50 elsewhere then.
