K&N Aircharger

For those that were thinking about getting one, but wanted to what it could do to the warranty and emissions, this is their response to my question about warranty, emissions, & I've read that one Xterra owner felt water could get into the filter:
"No the Aircharger kit is not emissions legal. The dealership may not void a warranty or force you to use specific products per
Federal laws. The Moss-Magnuson Warranty Act of the Fair Trade
Commission states that if a part is not covered under warranty, the consumer may use any brand they choose to. Air filters are not covered under the warranty so you are free to use any brand you choose. With the Aircharger kit since you are replacing the air intake tube, and that part is under warranty, then the dealer can void that part of the warranty if they wish. This usually is not an issue. Keep one thing in mind; if you change your rims and tires, the rims are under warranty also. This could void your warranty also. The K & N filter will not any more water to pass thru it than the stock paper filter. We also offer for most of our 360 degree cone filters a Drycharger. It is a water repellent wrap that goes over the filter, that will not allow water to pass thru it.

Does it help to add a K&N airfilter when I get a K&N aircharger. If so, then how much more hp and torque would the extra airfilter add.
Thanx
