Beware of excessive oil saturation at the factory which can cause serious costly problems.

not bad opens the inlet! Remove factory filters and carbon filters. Install them. You can feel better throttle response. One thing I could warn you about is that after reading and hearing on the forums about oil getting into the intake and causing big gremlins, I opened the box and took it out of the plastic bag to get rid of this oversaturated oil found from the factory. I soaked them in dish soap and warm water, rinsed very well and let them dry overnight before installing them and have been using them for over a month with no problems. The oil will be pink and some oil will remain after soaking. After researching this, I decided the problem was real and costly. You can remove even more oil and then buy it and spray the required amount. Do it right if you want. Next time I brush them I spray just enough to evenly cover them. K&N needs to solve this problem. They will be soaked in oil when you get them. just know This is a great product, but you should be aware of a potential issue.
