If you look at how thick the standard filter is, and compare it to the K&N filter I have in, there is less air getting into the engine with the stock filter, without a doubt..... and having said all of that, it is also probably a bit of placebo affect as well, but hey, its one of the cheaper modding options out there, so why not. Also just to add, Bedfordview Toyota didn't even bat an eyelid at my BRZ exhaust, so I'm sure I could have left the K&N in as well.

I have the BRZ exhaust as well. I swear that after putting it on the power band widened a little bit. Once again, a small change, but subtle things add up to how the car feels overall.

I do believe you guys, and I will probably buy one soon.

Any comments on the sound?

Drop in Filter takes the 86 from
116wkw to 122wkw
185nm to 193nm
These figures for the coast.

The sound gets a little louder, but not much. It does however get a nicer (slightly deeper) tone.

Its unlikely you will see that KZN 6wkw(5.17%) gain in JHB,

From my memory @Die$eL tested his drop in filter at Schalks Conversions(Gauteng) in early 2014
and:

115wkw to 117wkw
Which is 2wkw (1.74%) gain,

In terms of sound getting louder, you can enhance this a little with the TRD Sound Changer...(Could be a mind gain as well...who knows)

I wasnt expecting any change but was pleasantly surprised that the sound became slighter louder and then louder still with the software change.
