Brandon,
I also agree with you on not making sense to use an inexpensive filter. Just doesn't sound reasonable to spend 80 - 90 bucks on oil and then filter it through something that's not going to do a good job.
From previous experience, along with seeing people who actually cut filters open, I can tell you that the K&N has more filtering material than Fram.
On another note, it's always interesting to see how the filters are made. I went with the Purolator Pure One. I don't abuse my car and always wait for the oil temp to get up around 180 before I start heaving revving.
Thanks for all of the dialogue on this topic. And am going to pull the Purolator apart next Fall when I change my oil again.
Pat
