LasVegas,
I use to use the K&N on a Mustang GT a few years ago. You are right, you can get a K&N or Airaid for a couple of hundred, then just clean it every so often. Maybe even pick up a few extra ponies too. For me, now that I have gotten older, I like to change it out and be done in 5 minutes or less. The cleaning and re-oiling each time I changed the oil just got old. Plus for the price of the aftermarket I can buy at least 5 of the stock ones (not at full retail of course)which will last me about 10 years. I will probably get rid of it by then. I have also learned that all the extra money put into aftermarket parts does not exactly add to the value when it comes time to sell it, especially trades. Just personal perference I guess.
