I agree too. Try to stay away from K&N filters. They allow too much dust and rocks through. Stick with the OEM filter. Just my 2 cents.
what are other alternative for intake if i cant choose Kand N?
there is nothing wrong with cotton gauze filters, as long as you dont over oil them.

There should be nothing wrong with using a K+N filter, you just have too make sure you do not put too much oil on it...way too many people freak out about it cause they don't know anything about it..

I have K & N filter(rectangule) in my 97 C230....I have no problem with rocks, however didn't feel any extra power...
you guys are hilarious, how in the world do you get rocks into your filter hahaha
I had K&N on.
But I took it out and replaced it with OEM.
It definitely made my Accel more sensitive.
Right now, I feel like I'm now breathing through a cotton mask, but I know I'm much safer.
Only problem I had with the filter was:
When I tried to park my car after a high RPM drive, as soon as I shifted to "Park" gear, RPM jumped up to about 40-50(x100).
I had to kick the gas pedal past that RPM to settle the crazy behavior. I personally thought that the filter just let more air through than the computer thought it was.
