Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey gyus!!
What is your opinion about replacing the air filter with that?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/33-2773-Performance-Filter-Porsche-Boxster/dp/B00062Z0WA/ref=au_as_r?ie=UTF8&n=248877031&newVehicle=1&s=automotive&submodelId=16859
What are the actual benefits?
In a word: None. Car may make more noise, but if there is too much oil on the filter it will end up on your MAF and cause problems. We have never seen any advantage to these filters, but have had to deal with their downsides. Stay with your throw away paper unit.
more info on the specific filter can be found here

Does nyone use it? how does it increase horsepower?
Yea, it give you 50 more HP
You can get 100 HP increase if you replace your blinker fluid
IF there is in fact an increase in HP, it is only due to a slightly increased air flow and therefore it is filtering less. Effectively it would have bigger holes in the filter material and that means larger dirt particles pass into your engine. Any (if in act any) HP increase is negligible at best
Stay with the paper disposable filter and check it at least twice a year, more if you drive in a dusty or dirty environment
I use K&N in all my vehicles… It’s one of the first things I install. DO NOT SPRAY TOO MUCH OF THE TACKY OIL ON THE FILTER. LET THE OIL DRY BEFORE INSTALLING THE FILTER (I normally let it bake in the sun for a couple hours). I have never had to replace a MAF sensor, ever. I have over 282,000 miles on the Jӓgermobile and have not bought another air filter. I can’t imagine how many paper filters I would have bought by now.
I replaced my paper one with a K&N last summer and it was great... I used barely any of the oil when installing it. You might be lucky to get 0.025% HP increase assuming your old filter was clogged up and not working properly.
