I have used K&N Filters on most my cars and never really lost any power, i make the effort to shiled it and get cold air to it, but if you make the effort, the added noise offsets the possible loss of power (which i never experiance)  but i never gain any power thats for sure.  nor did i when i drilled my old box...   so personally i think its down to lots of noise, and no power gain,  or less noise ... and no power gain.    induction kit looks better though!

Pipercross panel filter in the standard air box is a good choice, pipercross being non oiled also avoids problems with the maf sensor.

I use a Pipercross induction kit on my 1.8T TT it sounds really good and made a difference especially after the remap
