Thanks mick...i think ill take ur advice and just get a k&n replacement
PS,
Most of the K & N filters can be cleaned via oil and air, so besure that you clean these.
Otherwise they degrade and don't filter or simply clog up.
Avoid the foam filters, they can flow very well. However the filtration aspects aren't
great and they typically come aparts in bits like an old ( fish tank filter. )
You have basically three major filter groups, Paper, Foam, and Cotton.
Normally speaking, for race applications we will test a specific filter materials for flow and filtration.
Then each are tested in the specific air box. Typically I prefer Cotton, a little more expensive.
Good luck.
