sounds like you cleaned and re-oiled it just fine. I have done many k&n filters. You should not hear a different sound at all, that might just be all in your head. Make sure the filter sealed good around the pipe.

it's called masking tape. hence the name, masking. it works perfectly, just be sure to take time putting it on or you'll get over spray on something for sure.

btw, where can you pick up a cleaning kit? i haven't been able to find one. how much do they usually cost?

Try using a Sharpie marker to go over the letters...it works if you do it right. I got a K&N Filter Cleaning Kit at Autozone for like 9 bucks. You cleaned it right. When I cleaned mine I had to wash it out for over 10 minutes...the thing was full of sand(my Civic got stuck in the beach a while back [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]). I noticed a little change in the sound after cleaning it, it definenlty helped with the air flow.
