This explains why people honk at me when I make a turn. Goodbye K&Ns. How do you refill the blinker fluid? Anything else I should know!? Thanks in advance.

IMHO, I want a good filter that keeps my supercharger clean, my intercooler clean and offer throw away convenience. K&Ns are far from my needs.
Do a search, here you will see many tests, draw your own conclusion.

Do draw your own conclusions.
I've run K&Ns since the early 80s and I was even a part of the early studies with the diesel engines.
The only lesson I learned is that cleaning and oiling them has to be done properly, but for the money I just treat them as disposable.
The green filters have issues of their own. The outer rim practically melts and collapses in our cars, which means you have NO filtering going on.

It does so by heating a filament(smalll wire which requires a certain current) located in the vane of the sensor. It heats up to a certain temp(dependent on the car). The amount of air needed to cool the wire down(this new current is recorded) to another desired temp is then converted by the ecu(the total change in current) and the proper fuel is added.
A manifold air pressure(MAP) sensor measures the density of the air and is usually less accurate. It is always easier to modify the intake on a MAS sensor since it measure the actual volume of air and can adsjust the fuel accordingly.
