Volks, Correction in Bold, Forgive:

I am enjoying the conversation on the K&N air filters. I have K&N
Filterchargers on my entire "fleet". I am convinced that performance is
increased, and the filters well worth the investment, but no dyno here,
nor plans to find one.
A point to ponder: K&N cotton gauze (oil soaked) filters have been used
as the standard RACING air filter since the late 1960's (aske 'em!).
Many of
these folks have engines costing multi-dollars (an old navy joke) and
I'm sure they would not be so hooked on them, from Baja racers to
formula cars, if they felt they would pass any size particulates (silica

or whatever) that would scuff their rings/barrels to any signifacant
measure.
