Subject:      K&N air filters worth the extra money?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Has anybody on the list that has tried them or knows something about them
have any good/bad comments on the high priced ($36.95 from
http://www.macneilauto.com/KNProd.htm ) K&N air filters.  They claim they
last a million miles and need to be "recharged" with a filter service kit
($9.95) around every 50,000 miles.  Are they worth the extra money, or
should one stick with a normal one like the Bosch air filter that Bus Depot
sells for $8.95 or the heavy duty genuine VW air filters that they sell for
$16.95?

Thanks,

Steve
