K&N Filter vs Paper Filter Amazing Result

Hello guys, I replace my MANN paper filter with K&N filter which cost me 85 usd. I have to say the car started breathing hence better performance most important its sound changed ie louder. Note that I have an Armytrix exhaust system. This combination of K&N and Armytrix worked well. US products are great if you want better sound. Performance wise the already installed Brabus power box now works much better due to higher air flow into the Turbo.

In summary I am satisfied though I might share my experience

limited use best

the low restriction air filters are best used only for weekends tracking and not so much on daily basis.
