The test shows that the K&N flows much more, but scores poorly (relative) to the OEM filters in terms of dirt filtration and capacity for dirt. This should be no surprise – a simple visual comparison between OEM and K&N would lead to this conclusion. It’s certainly what I thought when I made the switch.

I don’t think the conclusions completely follow when applied to a modified performance car. A diesel 4wd is likely to see much dirt, and only have light power mods, where as a modified performance vehicle doesn’t see off road use and is sucking in much more air than stock due to 25-50% power improvements..

But it’s still food for thought… Perhaps next time I’ll test out one of the other non re-usable ones..
