well either like it or hate it... the end.

To get that balance where you're not contaminating the maf is way more work than it's worth. How many owners are going to get that right? There have been many posts experiencing probs, whether their fault or not. I say if it aint broke, don't fix it! There may be certain apps where you might want a filter that you can clean and treat instead of replacing, but Lexus isn't one of them, imo. these owners that won't get it right are the same ones that are too lazy to check their oil and burn up their engines.... if you take the time to clean and reoil your filter and clean you maf sensor regularly... no problems..... Hey flop, this topic has been threaded to death. So let's agree to diagree, and allow "each to his own" and happy we'll hope he'll be! :D i agree... but i'm just saying it hasn't been proven that these filters hurt the life of a motor...

have any of you actually read the stuff on k&ns website.... they guarantee total engine protection.... from their website... "We perform tests of filters both in the factory air box and in SAE/ISO recommended test housing fixtures. Our goal is to design filters with the maximum possible airflow achievable while providing guaranteed engine protection. Our actual air filters when tested generally demonstrate a cumulative filtration efficiency of between 96% and 99%. All this testing we do allows us to guarantee our air filters provide all the protection your vehicle will ever need." argue it if you want... but they have been making these filters since 1969 and they're still in business and still guaranteeing their products...

there is no problem as long as you clean and re oil it properly.... which also means cleaning your maf sensor regularly as well.... k&n filters have been around since 1969... if there was a problem you seriously think they would still be selling them left and right....

i have an k&n typhoon intake and an hks drager 2 axle back exhaust and i love it.... i used to have a header as well and it made a horrid smell with no cats and the gains weren't that noticeable and it was ridiculously loud... but i didn't notice any better gas mileage with it... but an intake with the hks drager 2 sounds aggressive and in my taste sounds perfect... i would suggest them in a heartbeat!
