they tend to let more dirt in your system, i think more peps dislike them here.

Default no, waxing your car will help deflect radar - just like the stealth bomber

Default I have a K&N in every car BUT the S4, because
mainly because of Don Ps data. But also because I would be worried about fouling the MAF after I did a recharge -- I never really know how much oil to use....

Default Didn't put one in Julie's TT, nor in my M3
From what I've read about K&amp;N filtering (to some degree) less particles than stock paper filters,I'll trust what Audi and BMW put in their cars. Julie is very happy with the TT's acceleration, I'm happy with my M3's. Why throw money at an air filter ?

NickS - THANKS for the link to the test...
