I argued over a year ago you could put a K&N air filter on a compact with my buddy Antoine.
I'll be damned someone put one on a patriot P3 hybrid patriot.
I was kind of joking saying it could be done. I know K&Ns work great for bringing air into a car. I'm not so sure how well it would work on the exhaust. I can only imagine it has way better airflow than the restricted butt plugs.

That's funny.
I'm guessing this person is a mechanic. He lives by an air force base.

Lol is it only an after-motor filter? Because if not, it'll get dirty real quick. Since they are oiled element filters...

Funny though.

It will make your entire house smell like noxious petroleum, in addition to this it flat out will not work period. Air filters have oil in them for one thing, and for two, they are meant for air INTAKE not outtake. So all you are doing is suffocating the vacuum and will destroy the motor.
