Some FWIW.
AccordMDX is right.
Seldom in my experience does a filter alone on a stock engine do more than create a microscopic blip on a dyno graph... and then only at the far upper reaches of the rpm range. Usually it's not detectable. Even a compete intake/filter system may have only marginally beneficial effects on a stock engine (in the 5hp range or less- kinda within the margin for error on a chassis dyno) ... unless the stock intake is very poorly designed. A stock engine can only inhale so much. If the stock system supplies the stock engine's airflow needs, then nothing is gained. I've run at least 50 dyno tests on such things over the past 20 years and only rarely do I see an increase on a stock motor. When you do it's usually obvious why.
A free flow intake becomes more necessary when you increase the engine's ability to breathe by other means. Such mods can outstrip the stock intake system's ability to flow, so you then need to upgrade to keep pace.
As to filters, I don't use oiled cotton gauze (OCG) from anyone on my dirt rigs any longer... especially my a turbo diesels. Put a smear of grease in your intake tube somewhere past the filter. Check it in 10,000 miles or so. That will tell the tale for good or for bad when you find grit embedded. I did on three of my rigs with OCGs - and, yes, I first made sure there were no fitment problems or unfiltered air leaking by. These were all rigs used in very dirty trail environments (Land Rover, Bummer, F-250).
I'm more sanguine about using OCG filters on a street-only rig (unless used in a dusty area), but overall I'd rather have a filter that can take out 99-plus percent of the dirt than one that can barely do 96 percent. OCG with a foam precleaner is a good compromise that doesn't impact airflow much.
I like the OCG's ability to be cleaned but both my farm tractor filters are some sort of a synthetic, paper-like material that you can wash in soap and water. They gave me an idea.
I just put a filter from a big Massy Ferguson tractor on my trail rig (which has a GM 6.2L), replacing the OCG unit. It looked plenty big because it came from some 500ci monster TD, but I checked the airflow restriction with a vacuum gauge. No detectable restriction up to when the governor kicks in at 4,000rpms. This filter is 10 inches in diameter and about 18 inches long and has some sort of a cyclonic device built tin to spin out the heaviest of the dust. It has a 4.5 inch air inlet and a 3.5 inch outlet. It was hard to find space for it, so it wouldn't be for the average Honda!
