Conclusions: The Team Green Filter is more than sufficient for a stock application. The power improvements were significant when compared with the stock air filter. While the improvements over the other filters is minor, it is measurable. And to top it all off, it's cheaper. Even when you consider the cost of the filter and the cleaning and oiling solutions, the Team Green filter is still cheaper than the generic K&N cone filter.
