What percentage of sales do you think goes towards a filter for a truck that "needs" a high flow filter? I would think very very low.

Yes i would think so to , sence most cars & trucks are used for everday use...So the K&N & other filters are made for HP use won't sell near as many...

K&N are high flow filters and arent going to catch all of the dirt..... but they will catch the big stuff thats going to due the damage
Small particles do damage as well. I won't use KN on anything. Not to mention the fact that I know people that have had the MAF fouled up because of them.
