I currently have K&N filters. We live on a dirt road which gets extremely dusty in the summer, and I am wondering if I should change to paper filters. Is this a good idea? If so, what are my options? If not, should I just clean the K&N's, or should I buy new ones?

K&N's aren't hard to clean (and oil), which is probably an advantage if you're doing it a lot, but they really don't do that good a job of filtering. If your dust problem is really serious (you wash your car a lot?) I'd suggest you use paper filters, which I assume they still make, it's been a while, and a set of Outerwears over the top. It's a dune buggy thing, a foam sleeve that fits over those KN filters and kind of "pre-filters" the biggest crap to make the paper inner filters last longer. Look on the CBPerformance site, for example, see what they have that best fits your particular situation.
