Personally there weren't any noticeable difference in performance when I used to use it, but you got somewhat of a growl from the K&N filter compared to the OEM.

IMHO, You should invest in an Injen SRI...

I ran a K&N panel filter on my solara for 3 years w/o any problems. Other vehicles have issues with the K&N oil getting on the MAF sensor and causing issues.

I bought a dryflow panel filter for the Legacy for that reason.

they are both a joke. Its all in the marketing. I used to sell these at solarshade.

There is not a huge difference in airflow between the two. But for filtration, the stock filter still wins in the long run.
