    You can't expect people to be mind readers and not butt-holes at the same time. You didn't even ask a question.

    I have a k&n air filter. It does nothing for gas mileage in my opinion. Only advantage is you don't have to change filters as much. Again, not sure if I answered your question since you never posted a direct one.

    Honestly they do nothing but make noise. Save your money, and just use the paper OEM filter. This is just another one of those topics that has been beaten to death, so I'm sure searching would have brought you plenty of answers.

    Years ago I too bought into the hype and wasted my money on a K&N (or any other type of oiled) filter. The ONLY thing it did was to let a fine layer of grime through it. Nope, google is your friend and if you ask anyone with experience they will tell you, don't buy oiled filters.
