Can anyone confirm Tii K&N airfilter myth???

....which I'm sure suprises no one:). However, I was not seeking HP gains, but rather a more accessible engine bay. Likewise the reason behind relocating my battery under the back seat. I can easily change oil filters and alternators now. As far as performance-no discernable difference. It is louder. Personally, I think it looks cheap and is too loud. I kept my Tii airfilter housing. I think it's cool, but a pita to service. I have a spare that I may modify to make it simpler. Also, Tii housings have the tendancy to cut the fuel line if not adjusted properly.

The resonator comments below regarding the canister are correct. David Redszus has confirmed with flow bench testing that the canister works better than a cone filter on the intake. K&N vs. paper filter element is a separate question.
