And if ya want the best flow with your K&N type filter, DON'T OIL IT!

Hoist!

Maybe Howie, I don't know......

But the purpose of a air filter is to filter air....and the purpose of the oil is to__________...... (fill in the blank)  

If you want to flow even more air - and flowing more air is more important then filtering the air - then leave the filter in the box!!

thats  good..     like to oil the K&N filters but ever so lightly.. no need to soak the filter so its more of a choke than a filter.

Tested it both ways Scott! Definitely flows better. Still filtering, but not as fine a particles! Better than a velocity stack though, as far as filtering! It's good enough filtration to pick up the extra flow for me! Nuthin for nuthin man!

K&N disagrees with you Howie!

From their website:

Almost all K&N air filters come pre-oiled and ready to use.  They are packaged in a clear cellophane wrapper with the words "Factory Pre-oiled - Ready To Install".  The filter oil we use is red.  A new oiled filter will appear red-pink in color.  Some crankcase vent air filters come unoiled, however, they come with a small packet of K&N filter oil so they can be oiled before use.  There are also a limited number of filters with specialty uses which are not pre-oiled.  These items will be clearly marked as unoiled.  Using an unoiled K&N filter will greatly reduce the filter's efficiency and void our product warranty on filters that come pre-oiled from the factory.  If you receive a filter that is packaged in its cellophane wrapper and is unoiled, contact K&N's Customer Support department at (800) 858-3333.

That's based on filtration efficiency Scott, not flow! And you know what I have to say; FTW!!!

Hehe....  I think I have to many $$$ in my motor reduce the filtration.  

Have you thought about removing your oil and fuel filters too!!!!   More flow everywhere!  

As it's no big deal to change motors every so often anyway, right?  

(just messin with ya!)
