If you are getting k&n filters make sure they are cleaned periodically and oiled to spec. The oil is there to make up for a "looser mesh" of materials for the filter. I believe there is research floating out in the web stating paper filters offer better filtering performance by a wide margin. The performance gain from just a filter can be made up by trimming of a bit of flab or taking out the spare tire in weight.

Edit: whoops it turns out K&N is better ~_~ http://www.magnalabs.com/K&Nhow1.htm

Edit2: a totally opposite claim upon dozens of others
