Just purchased K and N's for my tr-6 and then found the research on the
various products!  I plan on using them but feel that there is another angle
to the question which is engine wear.  This is also probably much harder to
research.  How much is engine life shortened or lengthened by allowing various
amounts of  particles into the engine from the various elements?  Of course
that depends on the "particles" size, structure of the particles ect.

My
engine was overhauled at around 93,000 miles (supposed miles).  Would various
elements had increased the life?  By how much?  Shortened the life?  By how
much?  Of course driving style, conditions and climate also affect engine
life.  How much crap has to be sucked into an engine to significantly shorten
its life?  How much of an engines wear comes from intake dirt?  There are so
many variables to engine wear.

 Another issue is how much "seat in the pants"
feel can a person really feel between the various elements?  Which brings me
to the question of why I spent more for my filters.lol  I'm not
sure..............responding to marketing is one reason.  I'm hoping to feel
or hear a differance (love to hear that "sucking" on acceleration lol) but am
not confident I'll win a race against a common econobox because of them. lolol
