Dry filters offer the same filtrations as a stock filter, the issue with K&N filters is that people do not know how to properly clean and oil them. I can't tell you how many cars I've had to remove the MAF and clean due to a heavy oil coating which leads to a heavy dust coating that cause the sensor to cause a higher than expected resistance, dumping extra fuel, ect ect. However, you're entitled to your own opinions.

Having faith in a company to be honest about it's products is like saying our government has our best interest at heart.

not it is nothing like that at all, you can sue a company for falsely advertising their product, or if their product broke your property, ect.

you can not do that with the government however so companies unlike the government do not want someone to sue them and spread bad things about them because not only will they lose money, they will lose business and losing business means losing money on top of the money they already lost

that is user error then and not the company's problem, if you stuck them in and out of the box they killed your MAF sensors, thats a different story
