I've heard that too. I've also heard that the oil in the filter can be aspirated into the intake assembly and build up on the MAFS wires causing a malfunction. Not sure if its worth it for 1HP or something myself....

The only way to get more air through a filter is to put more or bigger holes in it. More or bigger holes = more dirt... or am I missing something?
