I wonder if this is actually true. I would think that because of the recent
high price of gasoline, if it was true why wouldn't K&N market that fact
when they obviously market increases in power.

K&N has a LOT of information on their site about filtration--explaning why
their filters are both less restrictive AND better filtering. Is there any
reason to believe they are lying?
It seeems reasonable that it is possible to improve apon the standard paper
element air filter, and that's what they've claimed to have done.
Any comments?

Go to http://www.jeepin.com/features/speedogear/index.asp where you'll
find an ISO air filter test. Pay special attention to the fifth graph
down. In that comparison, it passed 18X more dirt and captured 37% less
dirt than the AC-Delco paper air filter. K&N says their filter filters
better than what, nothing at all? K&N is lying, in my personal opinion,
when they claim their filter "filters better".

Re: Does K&N FIPK on 2000 4.7 liter V8 make my Jeep louder?
I certainly found it to be true when I put one of their filters, a Turbo
City air tube, and a cat back system on my four cylinder Wrangler. I record
the mileage and amount of fuel with every fill up, I am getting 22-25 mpg,
and I live in the mountains. I don't mind the economy benefit, but I was
looking for 10-20 hp gain in power, like it said in the ad. :^(
