Again I say: 270,000+ (280,000 in a week or so) miles, '94 Dodge, K&N from day 1.
I don't use compressed air to dry my filter, I follow the directions. It gets cleaned every 25,000.
My van and my Spitfire, same deal, just not from day 1 since I didn't own them from day 1.
I got better mileage on the van as soon as I changed.
I don't know what to tell you on why you have problems, except that I followed the directions. Maybe these ones that fall apart didn't?
Doesn't matter to me, I'm happy.
you are a lucky one is all i can tell you if it has not started to deteriorate yet.
and really a turbo vehicle shouldnt have a filter that is an oiled filter due to the amount of ar they can pull cause even if the filter is not over oiled like most do it will still pull a mist of oil out of it and into the turbo and intercooler.
none the less, glad you have had good luck, but like i say you will never find one on anything i own that is used to filter the air for the engine.
