I like the high flow filters simply because there's a lower differential pressure across the inlet and outlet side of the filter. This means you don't step as far down on the accelerator to get the same rpm when the vehicle is under load in gear. Over the life of that filter I could save a hundred gallons (maybe??). The other + side is that I don't ever have to buy a filter again, just clean and reuse, which promotes more frequent filter cleaning because it's FREE. By cleaning more often I've gone full circle by having a full time clean filter that also flows better, and never have to spend money buying new filters...
But with K&N that's all out the window. I'd have to buy their oil kit. Then if I over oil it I get a dirty MAF, which will destroy mpg- or possibly just shut the engine down.
