Your engine is throttled by the throttle plate angle, not by the air filter.

No, K&N uses a foam filtering medium, not cloth.

I've never heard of anyone replacing air filters 2-3 times a year. A paper filter is good for at least 20-30k miles depending on how dusty your driving environment is.
Don't waste your money on K&N.
