It's not news to me that a single layer oiled cloth filter doesn't filter as well as a 2mm thick paper filter, I never said they filtered better, I said they flowed freer.

is the amount of dirt that passes through is negligible? I'm thinking it is impossible to avoid getting dust in the intakes anyway, something passes through eventually

I just don't feel like the pass through is enough to matter in practical terms.

If you did a 250k mile test in a lab, in a dust storm, then yeah, I think it'd show a big difference.

Do you live in the desert? If you do, maybe paper filters are the way to go, seriously.

If you don't, go with K&N and just check them for accumulation when you do your oil or whatever.
