Re: K&N Long term effects

I have also used them for a lot of years on trucks
and Mustangs and have always been pleased with
them.  That's why I put one on right after I got
the truck (and priced a paper Ford filter).
I know that I have seen unsubstantiated reports
about people who claimed they saw slightly more
traces of particles in the intakes downstream of a
K&N and I think even blurbs in magazines about the
downside to K&N, but as far as I'm concerned, I put
a K&N on anything I own.  I don't however expect
great performance gains or mileage increases, just
a filter that lasts forever.
