Why do you say that?

Someone posted a link on here a couple of years ago about a university test comparing several brands of air filters. The properly oiled K&N didn't flow all that much more air than the standard brands, but if it wasn't properly oiled it did allow much more dirt to pass through. In other words the slightly increased airflow was negated by the increase in crap going into the engine. On a N/A engine that means slightly increased wear and much dirtier oil, on a turbo engine it could lead to premature turbo failure.
Read this thread. It's for the newer engines, and they talk alot about warranty issues, but the same principles apply. I think as you read through it you'll find that the consensus is about 3-1 against K&N (and other aftermarket "open-weave" filters).
Sorry to all the loyal 7.3 guys, but I traded my '91 7.3 in on a 2002 F250 Ex cab V10 4x4. SCT Xcalibrator2 with tunes by Powerplay Performance. 285/75/16 Toyo M/T's. Took a long time to get used to the ping-pop of a cooling catalytic converter...LOL.
'85 Bronco swapped up to a 302 4bbl from the 300 I6, NP435 4spd, NP208, 32x11.50x15 Radial RVT's, Soon to be 6.9 turbo powered.
86 F350 Cab&Chassis with a dump bed. 2wd 6.9 and 4 spd tranny. No mods to engine.
Ok,, what about the Violent,, Airaid adn some of thoes,, I'm wanting to take off the ATS black since the dam bolts striped out and the box flaps, I guess it would look good if I had a air box in the passenger side on top where the jack goes.
but anyone seen the dif on the air boxes.
P.S. I'm looking at putting a custom 4in pipe all the way back, and the U pipe inder the motor and see how that works, I'll keep ya all posted.
