Apprently some gain with the branded stuff. Perhaps some gain if go DIY/custom route depending on how well you isolate the filter from engine heat. Stock set-up with K&N etc? Maybe no gain but at least save money in the long term coz K&N etc. are cleanable type. I am using this one by the way in an E30 and pretty much confirmed no diff in terms of power but what the hey..... [/QUOTE]
