    go back and forth between stock and k &n i think paper filters are worthless when it comes to off roading. THey should get a air filter where they use foam like they do on a quads. DOnt understand.

    Amsoil filter. No problems with MAP, horsepower?, it's reusable and filters fine particles well, keeps oil clean and makes engine last forever.

    Purolater works fine so far. Does the AFE make a difference that i will notice? Just curious i always bought into the K&N filter hype and could honestly never tell a difference.

    It makes no sense that people say they get any additional gas mileage, the opposite is true. The more air you suck in, the more fuel you burn.
    I use the AFE dry, simply to save a few bucks on replacing stock ones.

    my Afe pro dry netted me an extra mpg and a lil more noise, but no real power increase. Worth money i say tho for the sake of reusability and cleaning it is just putting it in soapy water and air drying...

    Just dropped in the aFe pro-dry, cant say anything about it increasing noise as I installed a new exhaust at the same time, so far so good though.

    Had my K&N for 2 years. I live on gravel, so about every 5,000 miles i put my stock filter back in and clean my K&N. Nothing gained, no notable difference.
    It does trap dirt just fine, and never notice anything getting passed it. making sure it is properly oiled is key!
