K&N Drop-in dyno video

I heard the k&N filters have a coating of oil on them, does the oil get on the mafs after the install and affect the performance?

Loaded question, typically you see this when someone (Some overlooked at factory others done by owners when cleaning) has over oiled the filter. If it's looking like a "soul glo" when you go to install it, then likely yes you will end up cleaning maf wires. If you coat them as they were designed, you should be fine.

Yes, they are an oiled filter. The problem comes with folks who over oil them. Dripping wet is not desirable.
