im personally not a fan of k&n. i dont like any oil type filters. because if not done properly you can get oil on your maf causing faulty readings. but like i said if done right it wont hurt anything.

Lets get this to rest. A CAI on the fox is for pure looks, I have a MAC fender mount and will state all day long it is for pure looks..it offers no real gains period. The best dyno proven set up has been to remove the stock silencer, add a K&N drop in filter to the stock air box and be done. The silencer robbed about 5hp or so. Fact is a CAI gives about 3hp or so to the wheels and in most cases less on a stock set up, dyno proven it is on the net, look it up. Also like onebadvert stated tuning a OBD1 push rod motor w/o any big mods ( intake, head and cam) is not going to net any gains and is wasted cash. The newer cars respond to a cai/tunes the push rod fox does not, this car responds to pull up your sleeves/greasy hands mods...gears, heads, intakes, cams, etc. you can free up quick hp with the stock air box mod, bump the timing, better flowing exhaust and gears. then you are going to have to get into the motor, just a fact.
The oil filters aren't really an issue, the issue is most people over oil them after cleaning them. I have run K7N style filters for years w/o problems to my meters or engines. They do make dry high flow filters now though.
