30% more airflow than normal paper filters so it says.

Realistically, I got louder intake sound, better throttle response, more MPG, and better pick up on the revs.

Mine came pre-oiled and it says to re-oil when washed.

as I said, better mpg, better throttle response and better pick up of the revs. HPwise, you wont see too much, maybe 1 or 2hp, but it is constant along the power curve.
