So i am looking at a K&N Air filter but i have heard good and bad about them. Some swear by them while others say that they increase fuel consumption alot. Anybody have some tips, points or 2 cents?

I've used them on many vehicles, they flow very well. I think the increased fuel consumption is from a heavy foot, especially if you go from a closed box/flat filter to a bullet type filter. You get a ton of induction noise with the bullet types. (Sounds better when the throttle is floored.)

I have one on my wifes 03 and you can't beat them. The gas miles are the same.
