I don't think that's actually the whole of what happened, but there may have been a bias in the testing. Considering the apparent strength of the OEM intake design for NA cars, the majority of the power increase seems to be coming from a change in filter material. Like @evo4g63 said before, for pure performance, a drop in filter is the best value.
