Is the K&N air filter worth the money??
#12
Maybe this is too simple a solution, but I'd like to see somebody just bench flow the thing and see what it does. So, if the CB needs XXX cubic feet per minute in a state of high tune (new pipe, PCV), then what is the air flow requirement? Does the stock set up give enough flow?

I've see on some threads on oil (yes, I've read some of the dreaded oil threads) where people back up their oil preferences with actual used oil analysis. Back when I was a kid, I remember reading in magazines that the racer types would do a lot of flow analysis on cylinder heads and manifolds. So, I imagine someone has done this on K&N filters.

I do remember seeing one comment from calsci (again, from an oil analysis thread) where the guy said that your wasting your money on air filters. Most all of them, supposedly, flow way more air than you will need.
