for the racing crowd it is. k&n filters are supposed to give your car additional 2 to 5 horses in terms of hp. the standard air flow & filters of a car are a little restrictive. after-market filters like k&n allows more air to flow inside the engine. moreso so if you install a CAI or cold air intake system where the air comes outside the engine compartment.

2006 Pontiac GTO says yes to K&N cold air intake system at almost $300 dollars and 15 hp gain well worth the money. Cat back exhaust $475 dollars and 10 more horsepower not quite as good for the money. Predatior Diablo power programer $465 dollars and almost 50 horsepower at 6,500 rpms on a Dyno-Jet. Very good improvement. Sway bars short throw shifter WANT TO RACE!

KnN filters can be good sometimes but any other aftermarket filters are as good for a smaller price good like AEM's Dry-Flo filter that does not need oil when cleaning the filter and because of that wont damage any sensors but still has superior filtration and low restriction for a pretty low price

Yep. You gain gas mileage, because it allows more air to pass through it than a regular filter. I dont recommend their oil filters. The air filters are pricey, but they have a 1,000,000 mile warranty and you only need to clean them at every oil change.

Having worked in the auto parts business for several years,I can
agree with your previous answers.However,K&N is not recom-
mende for all applications.Any reputable parts dealer can tell you
Whether it is compatable to your specific vehicle.

no unless you use used motor oil
a fram filter works the best if you change your filter every other time you change oil
