If the K&N filters are the same as way back when I used them, you have to be careful of how much you oil them. You can foul the MAF sensor.

Ask me how I know.

Over oiling them is one of the reasons that I've been hesitant about using the filters. Thanks for the input. Would you all recommend a drop in or go all out with the Typhoon CAI? Is one better than the other?

Not only fouling the MAF, but also letting in a ton of crap. I had one on a VR6 Passat, and it gave me nothing but trouble.

And no, they don't do anything for performance.
