Greg, >From everything i have heared over ther years about them, they confuse the air flow meter, i dont think the filters actually damage it, but a lot of people tell me that the K&N's over time can ruin your O2 sensor. When that happens, your ECU is going to make your engine run full-rich all the time. which is bad on gas milage and can ruin your cat as well. Thats just what I have been told from two other A2 owners and a VW mechanic (not the same one i bought up a few weeks ago.)
