You choose not to buy a K&N, that's fine...you choose not to add ~5hp over a cheaper paper filter, that's your loss not ours.

You are completely right, air filtration is useless, from now on I'm going to use a piece of screen off of my porch, or better yet I might even just remove the filter entirely! I mean if it all gets burned up anyway ....
While on the subject of useless protection for your car, I think I'll save some money on oil filters by using a balled up sock in a can.
When we say ebay filters are ****, that is exactly what they are. So if you want to use one fine, but don't come crying to me when the POS shreds and feeds your engine with paper.

HAHAHAHAHA,
I'd prefer to do this recursively
...perhaps tail recursion? ..that way you can loop as many times as you want, efficiently. lol

I got the Ebay cai, and its the same as the Bomz shape. And the filrter is not made of paper! its cotton. oiled up cotton. So whats the big deal everyone is talking about in here? What is true CAI?
The only way you could get true cai is from directly out side the car! Therefore no one really has it unless you have a hood scoop.

HAHAHA you guys are funny. Obviously K&N's 20 HP GAIN has really gotten through to some of you. You show me the supposed 5 hp increase of the K&N verses the ebay filter which IS NOT paper, but made of the same material your precious K&N is made out of. And if small particles do pass through your filter, which as a matter of fact happens ALL the time without you knowing, they are micro meters in size. That is all
