a lot of people joke, if the aftermarket has a product that adds horsepower, why wouldn't the manufacturer use it and exploit the power gain.

K&N had a deal with Honda a while back and were giving them with their cars. (not sure if they still are)

Also, if you buy a specific product for your vehicle, K&N supply the dyno sheet showing the gains.

I've only cleaned it once since buying it. I'm satisfied with the product so far.

Performance wise.....probably not as much as you would hope for but you'll probably recoup your investment compared to oem replacement filter after 2 years depending on your driving conditions. Remember that it's an additional $10 bucks for the cleaning kit.

I have had my K&N cleaning kit for almost 10 years now, and it's still kicking.
