If a pro athlete wants get bigger faster stronger, he trains @ the gym,runs on a track,swims laps in a pool, watches his diet, gets proper rest. He doesn't get better by just swapping his shoes out. That's what you're doing with a K&N filter in the stock housing.

Wouldn't it be more like STOCK is the athlete with a mask on his face trying to run, and the K&N is with an open faced mask... thus more performance since you can breathe better...
