I find the 123d is a different car with the K&N installed. Much nicer to drive.

Yes. I do not believe that an oiled air filter is the way to go. Others may have a different view point though. When I saw all that sand and small stones up inside my air box... if the OE paper element wasn't there, I am sure some of it would get past a K&N type filter. I'm sticking with my OE filter.
