I'm in the middle of my first condition inspection on my RV-8A, and just replaced the existing K&N air filter with a new one. I then made the mistake of posting a picture on Facebook.
Holy ****! Since posting that pic, I have been lambasted by several people who continue to tell me that K&N air filters let WAY too much dirt into the engine, and can significantly shorten the life of said engine.
This seems a bit odd, to me. I've used K&N filters on motorcycles and high performance cars for years, without trouble -- but none recently. Has something changed?
So....what's the group-think on this? Yay? Or Nay?
