K&N air filter noticeable difference? - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you go KN make damn sure you don't over oil it. That will oil up the wires in the MAF sensor big time!

May happen no matter how you oil it!

Not really. Given the negligible performance gains, coupled with the cost/hassle of cleaning/oiling the thing, not worth it imo. May want to look into something like an AFE washable dry filter, or just stick with disposables.
