Is a K&N air filter actually worth it.?

I was thinking about getting one for my 2001 Subaru Legacy GT and was wondering if they are worth 50 bucks. I was at an Advance Auto Parts and they had a comparison with a regular vs K&N with a little ball thing and there was a difference but thats


I wouldn't bother.
The only thing a K&N is good for is that you don't have to replace it.
You do, however, have to clean it and the cleaning kit is about $20.

So you can spend $70 now or spend $70 on seven air filters
