Look at the Before Filter and After Filter lines - don't get much closer than that, do ya? In the Audi's case, the filter makes up 1 inch of water pressure drop out of the 32 inches total pressure drop that is present. In other words, 97 per cent of the flow restriction of the intake is not the filter. And to hammer home the point, when you make actual on-car measurements, it's pretty well always like this. The airfilter as a halitosis-suffering, smelly, dirty, hairy negative pressure is a total frame-up created by those with vested interests in selling drop-in aftermarket replacement filters."

Although it supported what you spoke of earlier, somehow you failed to understand that.
Kevin - glad to hear there was some relevant info in the article, I just got tired of wading through the drive-thru burnout references and other ridiculousness of the author's writing style. Not sure what his target audience was, but I wasn't in it. It's like, will you please just get to the point?
I edit a lot of articles in real life so maybe it's just me.
