Amen to that!

Mark,
It's not that I care that I'm slower than the general flow of traffic (which I am) it's just a lot easier on the engine.

Thank you. Everytime K&N comes up on any forum that I have been on, the old filtration and power debates start. You should see it on the 911 forums!!!! Guys there even dyno with and without to see difference in power.
I've got one on the 930, with zero noticeable difference in power, but it does make wonderful intake music when I get on it. The only reason I did it was to clean up the engine bay and to make it easier to make CO adjustments...was thinking same for the IIa, but I may just leave the oilbath on...

Tim,
With all cars it's "air in....exhaust out" the least restriction the better on either end. Clean is good, finding the best of both is the answer. Low HP motors need to heed this more than any.

Yep.
I can tell you that being able to cruise comfortably at 65 mph is a lot better than lower speeds. Especially on the interstates.
Where I live, if you want to get anywhere in any kind of reasonable time, you hit the I-roads. Am I doing 85? No. But I'm pretty gosh darn close to the posted speed limit (and above in some places). Anyway, I am going pretty close to the speed of traffic which is what I want and the best way to stay out of trouble. Oh and stay in the right lane.
Anywho, I went to a cone filter since I did dual batteries. Removed the oil bath to make room for a 2nd battery. I have no regrets.
I have seen dino tests on different air intake filter setups where a 300 buck system gives a increase in intake air temp and a loss in power. i want to play with on a stock rover and make a ram air system (a poor mans blower) and also play with different plenum risers. my 109 i have kept stock the oil bath air filter setup and it seems to work good.
Thanks mates, love the pics.
