I bought a K&N air filter for my '96 T-Bird about 12 years ago. I kept cleaning it, but it just didn't get white anymore. The constant use got the filter stained and started to impede air flow. It got to where it was just as good as a paper filter. K&N offered a deal, free cleaning kit with filter purchase. I jumped right on it. Now my car runs a lot better. K&N is NOT like other filters. K&N actually works as advertised, even better.
