Do not drive without a filter. They are there for a reason. I wouldn't even go around the block. Unless you live somewhere without dirt, rocks, bugs, and small animals. Either way it is not worth it.

I have a K&N drop in filter but I really can't tell you if you can feel a difference. I put the filter in a few weeks after I bought the car. So I never really got a feel for how it was without it. I'm probably gonna get an SRI here in a few. I'll just put the K&N in my girls car cuz she's got an Outlander.

I replaced my fairly dirty stock air filter with a K&N recently & noticed no difference. Even if it does make an extra 5 hp, I doubt my butt-o-meter is sensitive enough to notice. I am taking it to the track this weekend & we'll see how it performs there.
