Default Anyone use K&N air filters?

I was just checking out K&N website, Just wondering if any of you guys use their air filter, website says you get increased horsepower/acceleration due to the increased air flow, and how they can be washed many times and will never wear out etc...

Just wondering if you have an thoughts on them, at 80 bucks for a filter Im hesitant

The HDSE filter used to be a K&N.

Use them on my S&S, even the Dyno shows what they claim is true.
Easy to clean too, and I believe the "for life" claim because they look perfect after a good wash.

Yep. Replacement for the S&S was around $50 including shipping from J&P.
