You wont find much support on here for any filter other than the standard air filter on an 'standard engine' (Read: not tuned for race). If you are after power, then there are proven reports that these things don't offer any benefit over a standard, clean paper air filter on standard/standard ECU map engines. Cleaner filtering? Not really because the gaps in the filter are larger and relies on the oil to capture dirt. Oh, and that oil could be dragged off the filter and drawn into the engine. The problem here is that engines have sensitive air flow sensors which can be contaminated by the oil. So in short.... although yes you could get a replacement panel filter or 'induction kit' to replace your standard air box, however you wont gain much other than noise and maybe a placebo effect. If however you are tuning your engine to quite an extreme level then yes they can work, but usually because the engines are tuned in such overall to need it!
