That's because people aren't smart enough to clean the excess oil off the filter before they put it in or they over oil it when they clean it. The excess oil gums everything up. The SS isn't the first car to have problems with people not following the k&n instructions properly. Although this is the most severe problem I've heard about. Usually it just gums up the MAF sensor and is fixed by simple cleaning the MAF.

I was thinking about getting the k&n, and truth be told, if the parts store would have had it, I would have bought it already. I'm too impatient to order one. I may still get one anyway.
