I like mine....
Only difference is that I have the K&N prefilter... 25-0880... too. I don't drive in dusty conditions which is what they are basically designed for, but I use it because it doesn't restrict air flow more than ~2-4% and it is so much easier to clean and service than the RE-0880. I've got 20K on this system. Just cleaned and reoiled the prefilter, not because it was very dirty, but it had lost it's oiled touch. The RE still looks brand new. I doubt I'll ever have to service the RE.
