Not all microfiber cloths are created equal. They can, do, and will break down.

Filters aren't there to just stop leaves and acorns. A filter has a micron rating. That's essentially a rating of how small of a particle the filter is capable of trapping. That cloth is allowing all sorts of small dirt and particles to enter the combustion chamber. It's not an immediately apparent problem, but over time these small particles act as an abrasion blaster, wearing down the cylinder walls, getting trapped in the rings, causing excess wear, and shortening the lifespan of the engine.

I route the microfiber cloths I use every 3 to 6 months and wash them. Very true on different gauges of microfiber. but the paper filters from oem break down and cant be reused.

Nice of you to not be concerned about others saftey on the road.
That burnt out signal/brake lamp may be the cause of someone hitting you because they're life is of no concern to you.
I for one appreciate your stupidity.
I hope when you get hit it wipes you out and not an innocent family.
Now I really don't care about your cheesy idea. I run K&N in all my vehicles and bikes.

Yeah srt8 Cruise control is good on flat roads I use it often but turn it off going up hill. Controling your shifts in auto and manual helps generally around 1500 is what ive found to be optimal for 4.7
