I would like to ask all those that have used the K&N washable elements, what kind of performance improvements have YOU seen, and is it worth the cost?

If I get a new Ranger, I will be planning to keep it for years, and my question is will a K&N be a smart move? Also if I do get this new truck, what other aftermarket upgrades can I get that will pay off in the long run?

Now I know on old trucks like my '87 a K&N probably is out of the question as the truck will probably be worn out well before the filter outlives it's usefulness.

Here we go again....... :sad:

That being said, I've used the same filter for 100,000 miles and HAD to clean it about 3 times. After a while they get so full of junk they just don't flow. But I hate jacking around with cleaning them so I'd rather just pay a little extra for the paper ones if they made paper ones that clamp on the end of a pipe. But they don't so I am stuck using a K&N.
 
it would be if you had the money to waste cleaning the oil out of your intake tube and maf..:icon_confused:why would someone want one exept to look like a rice burnner:icon_surprised:
 
this better not turn into another huge pointless argument.
 
We're not going through this again. There has been enough threads on K&N's to gather your info from. Use the search button.
