The OEM panel filter is more than man enough to flow enough air so I wouldn't expect an improvement, I'm afraid. :-/

Not sure why it should be worse. Make sure the filter has only been very sparingly oiled in case this causes a restriction or, worse, contaminates the MAF sensor.

Probably because the old was was crap and needed replacing  :)

K&N not only make no improvement, if oiled ones are used, they will send your MAF to an early grave!
