K&N is just fine for this application.
Use cleaner properly. Lightly oil.
Besides by the time you would need to clean it. you could afford to buy new one.
used k&n. stills increases safe airflow more than the best stock air cleaner around.
you do not have to buy K&N. just open style of filter like K&N.
you will feel a little difference, but you will hear a bit bigger difference when hitting the accelerator.
