Great Price Ratio!, March 3, 2008
This review is from: K&N 33-2260 High Performance Replacement Air Filter (Misc.)
For under 40 bucks, this K&N filter was an excellent deal. Just on the fact it is washable/reuseable numerous time makes it a great deal already. After changing it, I did notice a smoother acceleration. As for it improving by a few HP, no idea on that.

Easy Installation, Saves Gas, August 15, 2008
This review is from: K&N 33-2260 High Performance Replacement Air Filter (Misc.)
I purchased two of these, one for a 2003 Camry and the other for a 2008 Sienna. It is a very easy installation, just pop off the filter cover for the old one and slip these pre-oiled filters in. Great for a car's lifetime. Two words of caution though: 1) buy the cleaner and oil kit because you will need it to clean the filter after about 5000 - 7000 miles and 2) make sure you install the filter correctly. The filter has a curved corner that matches perfectly with the filter box. If you are not attentive, you might not align it correctly and close the box without a good seal. I'm sure the instructions might tell you this, I never took the time, but I guess I had enough time to install it twice. After about 1000 miles, it seems to increase the fuel efficiency, but don't expect dilythium crystal - like increases/savigns. If you plan on keeping the car a lot of miles, the savings will add up.

Clean is Better Than Dirty, March 30, 2010
This review is from: K&N 33-2260 High Performance Replacement Air Filter (Misc.)
Make no mistake, K & N filters are top notch, but beware of people who claim huge improvements in mileage and power (i.e. 10-15%). With the billions of dollars the auto industry has spent trying to improve gas mileage and power, every car made in the world would have these as original equipment if such gains were possible. If life were only so simple. People who replace a CLOGGED filter with a new one will notice an improvement (if it's clogged badly enough, the improvement might be that your car runs now). Definitely better than many in fit and quality, plus being reusable, but a magic bullet it is not. A clogged K & N filter will also cause performance problems, it's just that all you have to do is clean it properly, and you are off and running; whereas a paper filter, you have to throw it out.
