All open element air filters that have cotton gauze between metal mesh are going to give exactly the same benefit. There is really no point in dynoing them.

Yah.. besides, its basically the same as the Buscher.. It actually appears to be slightly smaller in diameter, but the inner cone portion looks to be a little deeper.. so its probably going to have similar filtering surface area.

Get whichever you like, unless its know to cause a problem or restriction.. It makes the induction system ALOT noisier.. If you like that then you'll like these filters.. But the gains are negligable..

I think you can get good gains on a turbo car out of an open element air filter depending on how restrictive the stock airbox and air fitler are.

My Eclipse was made to breathe through a tiny slot in the fender, through an air filter that was over an inch thick and packed with paper. The K&N FIPK made a big difference on my car.
