Saw it earlier from a Vendor. Thinking of ordering. Are there verified results, and if so, how much?

Why? Does it flow better while filtering better than the OEM filter?

The SynthaMax filter media consists of an inner and outer layer of wire mesh for durable support of filtration media as well as overall filter durability. Filter construction won't deform or collapse under high air flow. Inner filter media consists of two distinct layers of specifically designed synthetic materials that have separate performance characteristics designed to work together for a combined function of outstanding air flow (low restriction) with exceptionally high filtration. Contaminants are first captured by the outer layer of synthetic needlefelt polyester material designed for wet and dry filtration with high air flow capacity. The inner layer of (wet-laid / chemical bonded) (rayon / polyester) captures any remaining contaminants while maintaining high air flow/low restriction. Each separate layer of these high tech materials are design to work together for the highest level of air flow performance & filtration with exceptional durability.

OEM C7 disposable paper filter msrp is $99

But, is it any better than the OEM filter? Do you have certified test results that show it is better than the OEM at both filtration and air flow?

- Filtration is 99.9% up to 2 Microns

Dyno sheets to release to the public late next month

I asked the same question and got this response, respectable gains from just a filter. I've seen private dyno results showing a 5whp gain from the Green drop-in filter so I'd say 5-10whp is a realistic gain given what we've seen so far and considering how other performance cars respond to a less restrictive filter.

Jake - Where did you get it for $89 shipped? That sounds like a great deal!
