Yep. K&N's. Ask UPREV. :)

Dyno numbers vary so much that the small gain you Might get from these would be impossible to verify. If you just want something that can be reused and that you feel may be higher quality go with them. But I wouldn't buy them as a power upgrade.

We've been using K&N filters on all of our intakes since forever and have had no problems.

:iagree: with Josh. I've designed, built and sold over 1000 K&N based intakes for another brand (Audi/VW) which has a very sensitive MAF based control. No issues at all until the owner over-oils one during his first cleaning. Oiled correctly per the K&N guidelines they are trouble free..
