If you do a search, you will find that some tests have shown that the free-flowing benefit of the K&N comes at the expense of filtering effectiveness. eEuroparts no longer warrants their Boost Bypass Valve replacements for 9000's using K&N filters. Tear down of their warranty returns showed excessive wear of the BPV due to small particle ingestion by the valve. Other people site years of use with no problems. For me, I just replace the paper ones every 20K-30K miles depending on their condition.
Dust is something you might want to consider next time you are on the Beltway in Virginia! For people unfamiliar with the area, the area is completely torn up with toll lane and Metro constuction.
