It will be a waste of money stick to the oem
Have have a good few customers with these fitted that have problems with oil on the airmass element from the filter and they have not noticed any more power

Waste of time if you chasing horses, you'll get maybe 3bhp at a push.

Not a big fan of K&N my self, I did have a book mark on about 5 filters been testing. This was back in the Scooby days, and the K&N came 3rd just. They don't tend to stop tinny particles to well, this along with oil that needs to be applied all so messes maffs up.
