Default Amsoil air filters

I used to run a K&N and didn't believe all the hype about them letting dust into the intake. Well, that was until I found the dust for myself. I switched back to the paper filter, but a friend told me about the air filter from Amsoil. He said that it flows better than stock like a K&N filter, but has synthetic filter material and filters a lot better than a K&N. Does anyone run these or have any experience with them?

I thought the K&Ns were awesome too. For how much I payed for it I was pissed when I found the intake tube filled with dust. I mean I do drive down a dirt road frequently, but I cleaned the filter regularly and never had the issue before with the paper ones. I should've taken pics but didn't think about it at that point in time. I like how they garuntee the filter for a million miles and say it will outlast the vehicle. Yeah... because it never gets dirty enough where it needs to be replaced.
