Thought I would ask K&N to comment, here is what they said....

Neil

Dear customer,
I would have to say this person is not much of an "expert". Our filters
are tested by an outside, independent laboratory. They stop 97 % of
particles on a SAE fine dust test. This test uses mostly particles in the 0
- 5 micron range but goes up to 20 microns. For comparison, a paper filter
stops 98% on the same test and the OEM minimum standard is only 95%. We got
started over 30 years ago making filters for motorcycles and off road racers
(the Baja 1000 was what got us started). The filters did so good that these
guys wanted them for their cars and trucks. We started doing this and here
we are today. If they did not work, we would not still be here and growing
every year. We now make filters for Chrysler/Mopar, Ford Motorsports and
Harley Davidson. We will come as original equipment on the 2000 Ford
Mustang Cobra-R. We even made the filters used in the Apache helicopters
used in Desert Storm and the US Marine Corps new Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft.
If they work in these conditions they will work for you.
Thanks for asking, Rick
