If you look and read carefully at my post you would see I said this was the results of putting it on a F.I. engine which is sucking in a lot more air at a lot higher pressure. Yes these installs were done correctly. I have seen 3 or 4 of these trucks in person with dust and dirt in their intake tubes where we have reinstalled them (including "re-charging" them and such) and double checked.
Again this filter may be substantial for a N/A car but if its not filtering good for a F.I. car why run the risk on a N/A car. I only provided one link because first I don't want to get in trouble for linking to another forum and secondly because I have to get work done here at work and cant spend all day finding the threads in a forum that has over 80,000 of them! I said I can show at least 10 because I have read at least 10 threads that I know of but no I have not documented every time I have seen poor results from K&N filters.
I am only trying to pass on what I have seen in person more times than I think is just a fluke or improper install. Use them if you are happy with them and like like them if you have or plan to go F.I. I would be even more weary. If you want more proof I will post a thread asking for people who have had problems to chime in with pictures and all.
