I also ran the Finer filters and found they worked well. Bit messier than the K&N to clean I found. Performance wise hard to compare as greatly different engines and a long time ago. What I do recall is there being minimal to zero visible migration of dirt onto the inner foam element.I am sure there would be finer particles, but nothing to the naked eye. Over time I did find the foam started to breakdown/crumble a bit, but by then I had well gotten my use out of it.

Would you actually feel any performance difference, Id think it would be minimal.
As for efficiency no idea as well , ease of servicing great
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

I think it will be hard to actually feel any difference of just a filter but it all adds up to be a big difference.
4” snorkel to a high flowing shaped 4” inlet outlet air box 4” straight into a turbo to IC to a good shaped inlet manifold just ramming the air inside followed by a straight through 3” exhaust to remove gases quickly as possible, etc, etc it all adds up!

K&N air filters
Agreed AB and I should have added that to my “10% power increase” experienced posted (power and fuel consumption reduction by 10% too) on the 6.5NA Chev with similar BMC filter to the K&N. The real credit goes to the full system upgrade 3” to 4” intake all the way with long flowing radius bends where possible.
In regards Plasnart and his stock 4.2TD I personally see no problem as with our wagon also using $25 OEM paper jobbies to quickly swap out on the fly.
Have been known to slack off and compressed air clean them too short term if shed stocks are out and having just snorkel driven through a swarm of Termites in wing up here.
Can’t say my utes sticky element appreciates them little critters, stick like sh#t to a blanket they do!
