Yea, but I've got the best eye catching link. I bet everytime you see it you just want to click on it to see what's up don't you. And no, I am in no way employeed, sponsored, or get any direct bennifits from my advertising, I just do it because Ericks cool as hell and helped me out a time or two.[8D]

Yea, BBK is a really good brand, last time I checked AB is fairly reasonable on all of his prices, sometimes a little higher, sometimes right on average, sometimes a little cheaper, the big difference is you'll get your stuff pretty quickly and his customer service is top notch.

Typically, the after market air filters like K&N, will actually work better when they get dirty. NOT too dirty. If you read the K&N instructions, they state that fact.

Dunnoh. It's just something I read in the K&N install instructions.

The only way that I could possibly forsee it working better dirty is that it closes up some of the airways allowing others to breath better as less over all airways are availible, kinda like drinking though a big straw and a smaller one, you'll actually suck in the same liquid over time with both, but you'll get better flow with the smaller one.
