Not yet, I'm still working on getting all the filters together to test! I'll keep updating this thread as progress occurs.

I haven't kept up with the whole thread, but are you going to do any filter quality testing? I would love a 20hp increase from a filter but not at the expense of zero partial filtering.... It would also be nice to see the pressure drop in the intake tube if thats possible....

I will not be measuring filtering quality. I'm only going to be testing what I feel are quality air filters that I would comfortably run on my personal daily-driven Evo IX.

As soon as I can source the Perrin and Amsoil filters the testing shall take place!

*UPDATE*

I just got word that a Perrin air filter is on the way. I hope to conduct this test before the end of the month.

I tested a Vibrant filter, Perrin, and Amsoil..

Perrin was superior to the Vibrant (which the filtering sucks on...)

and the AMSOIL filter was 9whp down from the Perrin.
