TUV is an independent German technical inspection association. TUV certifications are a highly regarded in Europe and around the world.

K&N switched their supplier and had some issues, maybe 10 years ago? I forget the exact time frame. When they switched suppliers, they had some quality issues.

At that time, I switched from K&N oil filters to the HiFloFiltro fliters for my Twin Cam engines. The Hiflo Filtro racing filters have the 17mm nut on the end, the others don't have the nut. They have a chrome #HF171CRC and black version #HF171BRC, for Twin Cam engines.

You can get the Hiflo Filtro oil filters online for $11 or $12. They are a high quality filter.

As far as K&N goes, about 3-5 years after switching suppliers, they switched again (some say back to Hiflo Filtro) and their quality issues subsided. I've continued to use the Hiflo Filtro oil filters, because they are $4-$5 cheaper than K&N, and an extremely high quality filter....
