I've had a K&N or an Airaid in every car or truck I've owned since 2000 as well as every street bike. Never had a single problem, and enjoyed the increased sound from the intake on every vehicle. They last virtually forever if you clean them correctly. My 1988 4Runner notched 238,000 miles on the odometer before I sold it using a K&N. They do, in fact, breathe better because if you've got a bike with a carb instead of fuel injection, you need to rejet much richer when you make the switch, especially if coupled with a non-restrictive exhaust. For me, they are totally worth the $$.
Places that change the oil for your cars don't like them cause they can't play the "you need a new air filter" trick every other oil change.
