Interesting stuff! That actually sounds pretty reasonable. I wonder how different their foam is from the "traditional" oiled foam filter elements that a lot of the Japanese tuners have been using (and which, rightly or wrongly, I'm somewhat predisposed not to like).

They are JUST discovering them in the racing world but for years they have been used in very dusty conditions - caterpillars and other heavy equipment also in trucks that are around dirty air. Supposedly they really filter well. What is amazing though is that they too offer gains in HP. They have several cars recently added to the filter line. They are also know as GCA filters. Check out the articles section. They show dyno charts and increases. On an RSX they showed a 8.8 hp gain and 5.7 ft lb gain.

..seems to me that most aftermarket modifications are taking their time. I didnt notice this with the 350Z...nevertheless, I'd rather wait and have them do it well...BUT i hope its within the 6 mth timeframe for the $500 dcard from mazda ( it expires after 6mths)
