Supposedly the rubber surround on the filter impedes air flow. Good luck on the install, it's a pain

RESPONSE FROM K&N (MANUFACTURE) Plant: -->
Hi
The greater resistance to air flow is at the mouth of the intake. The K&N will (if the engine demands) deliver 40% more air to the engine. The rubber around the edge of our filter will do little to interrupt air flow. When we develop a new filter we purchase the OE air box and carry out air flow tests using the appropriate K&N. We would not go ahead with the launch of a new element if any adverse readings were registered. Hope this helps.
