if you drive your car like bill then clean it at every 3000km it only cost about $50hk
if not then every 6k to 7k km

i use my car everyday so all that dust and grime came in, in fact they changed the oil without charging me, as they said it was useless to keep it there and get a bigger claim from another warranty claim.
K+N is good,in fact the best there is in the aftermarket, but it has its limitations, lets face it, you get better filtration and protection with the original em, but you get better response with the K+N.
For this, it's the size that matters.
by that, I meant the size of dust particle that the filter can block. my engine definitely sounds more aggressive at the high end after the k&n.

basicly just have a look every 6 months dose not take long or that hard to check it and clean it.
a few hours at AK and blow water and it done

In Hong Kong sub-forum should no one have answer. You better try to ask public.

i don't believe that my Arqray quads lose power, those guys wouldn't make it!
what i do know is that the finish and welding is perfect.
apart from Keith, did anyone buy RPI? and why not?
i mean we are all experts in modding, why didn't we buy any or is it not represented
in HK? it could be to our loss we are missing the chance to buy a power boosting product

the "public' can be biased

K+N is much better than BMC and the others, i already tried them, avoid the foam ones at any cost.
you can get a "hiss" with the K+N when changing up

Hard to find out the answer. Beside USA, I don't think any others in the world.
