Was doing some thinking and couldn't this test be somewhat bias since your car is tuned for the Buscher filter Scheides? Wouldn't it be a better to test a stock EVO (non-flashed ECU) and swap out filters?

Cool test guys! Interesting results too.

I think the K+N didn't do well because they also have too much oil on them..doesn't allow for much AIr to flow through..

Yes, but the simple fact is that you cannot get that same filter anymore, so it doesn't hardly matter that it won, except to me...looking for what will be best to run and make power above what I already ahve :) The car was untuned for all the rest of the filters, some of which performed very close to the same. AFR and boost was kept (rather, stayed) very close, so it was as level of a playing field for all the other filters.

The K&N filters were fresh from the factory sealed back and I was impressed with the proper oiling of them. Unlike years previous, they no logger seem over-oiled from the factory. Plain and simple, K&N got a fair shake in the test and they under-performed.

We chose to test with a modded Evo since they flow a lot more air and therefore are much more demanding of the filter's ability to flow air. The MAF was not tuned for any of the currently available air filters.

Haha sorry man! All I could see was your black leather glove after I waved you over, then I just didn't look over when we passed ya, sorry man! I was at work till almost 4am Friday night/sat morning, then up early for this test so I was *really* glazed over at that point!

Nice car though ;)

I was just messing with ya. My buddy in the car is a real car guy as well and I told him a couple of EVO buddies were coming up on us fast. He was impressed when I told him what you're putting down for street numbers. He's got a newer yellow 911 right now that he drives on nice days.

haha I bet he was even more impressed when he saw how awesomely unclean my car was! Funny that you spotted us like that, maybe my HID's grabbed your attention? :)
