I have used Works and Perrin and both worked flawlessly.

I have used Amsoil dry flow filters like you just bought in the past and they worked excellent! No need to apply oil and such like on many of the K&N filters which reminds me I'm getting rid of my K&N and getting another Amsoil! Haha

I like the perrin filter. it is a foam filter like used on many offroad trucks and dirtbikes. They also sell a micron filter bag that goes over the filter.

I like the AEM Dryflow. Retains it's shape even after you crush it.

My favorites have been Amsoil and AEM. No empirical data to back this up.

I have a K&N filter on my Evo IX currently, haven't had any issues thus far. Aside from that you can't go wrong with amsoil filters. the Perrin foam filter is supposed to be really good too. I was thinking about switching it up to that in the near future

Here's a link I came across with some dyno comparissons of various filters for the Evo VIII/IX. Seems like the Perrin foam filter out performs the rest in regards to peak hp.

In a dusty climate I'd avoid any filter that advertises increased horsepower. Better flow usually comes at the expense of filtering.

This.

If you live in a very dirty/dusty area I'd definitely go for the Perrin since it can hold a lot of debris before becoming plugged. The Amsoil will be easier to clean though since you only need compressed air.
