K&N filters

Hi all
I've got a '92 Classic 3.9 Vogue SE and i was wondering about the benefits, if any, of the K&N (other makes could be available) 'cone type' replacement air filter.
I knwow that they advertise more power, etc, but apart from increased induction noise will anything else improve? So vis-a-vis are they worth it?

No real benefits, lots of downside. Like don't take it out of the uk to anywhere that is even slightly dusty cos you can wave goodbye to your engine if you do. BTDT learnt my lesson the hard way.

Thanks for that, quite a bit of dust round the back lanes of Norfolk too, so i'll probably forget that idea. The main reason for buying one was to try and get a bit better fuel consumption (every little helps).

Big thank you, Jim. "Experts" have been screaming at me to use a K&N air filter after my gas conversion (not the gas fitters, by the way) and I nearly went for it. It's amazing how one can believe someone talking authoritatively about something they know nothing. best regards P.S
