Default air filter

Has anyone had a problem replacing the stock air filter with a K&N?

I actually just put a K & N filter in.
It came with a thin gasket to attach to the top of the box. It wasn't needed.
The fit was too tight with it. If you want to test, tear off a small amount of the paper on the gasket, This will allow you to take off if it doesn't work for you.
I had my car dynoed before and after and gained 38 hp and 42lbs torque.
Just kidding, please we don't need another K&N filter 12page discussion.

Tnx. I'm sure this is beating a dead horse. I have K&N's in my Harleys and It's mostly for the $ savings.

I been running K&N's on every vehicle we've own over the last decade and have never had a problem. Some of the guys on the forum have had their MAPS foul with oil. When re-oiling, you have to oil the filters very sparingly and evenly. I also ran them because of the savings, plus I think the oil helps filter, but this is only my opinion.
