K&N Filter Opinions...

I have recently installed K&N's in my car, and strangly enough the car seems to have become LESS responsive. Is this possible??, or is it all in my head? What do you guys think?

Yes it is very likely..........numerous people in the Porsche (Rennlist) community have dynoed before and after with a K&Scam versus stock and have reported a loss of horsepower and torque.
This is sort of old news, stick with the stock filters but change them more frequently.
