Common sense will also tell you that a filter that is less restrictive will provide power gains at the cost of less filtration.

Again, the small hp gain is not the reason to buy a drop in filter, the cost of savings over the life of the vehicle by not buying filters is.

Also by using a less restrictive filter you will see an increase in fuel mileage IF you drive the same conditions as with the paper filter.

3-7 hp may just be the diff between a clean and dirty filter...

So then post up your "supposed" dyno results of a 2015 since that's the section we're in. I'll await your results.
