What are you putting it on/in?

I used to have one in my track car(150 TDI golf) but the MAF kept going. Had it on the RR one day and put a new MAF in to see and had 234bhp 384lb/ft, replaced it with VW paper one and had 231bhp 396lb/ft

Paper filters are good enough for most cars, even if it has been tuned

So long as you keep 'em clean, Hoover it every month or so.

Thing about K&N is that it should last a life time, where as every so often at a service you will get a bill for a new paper one.....

Over the life of the car, it might be worth the K&N...

p.s. you can wash your K&N in the dishwasher too.....easy.

another advocate of the standard air filter and box.

I am quite well up from standard performance and get good airflow throughput with OEM paper filter (checked with vagcom)

i just change the paper filter every 10K or less. They are cheap enough.

On N/A cars I am led to believe they do not make a jot of difference, was thinking of one for the S4 but bollocks to it in the end.

Yep, complete waste of time - unless you need 0.00000001 extra bhp, like the saxo brigade do.
