denser air due to the heat shield enclosure, my filter is always cold to the touch after a journey.
Are you guys sure it's not just the cold weather we are experiencing as my mpg always drops in winter vs summer?

Im not wishing to drag your review off topic but its the only thing that puts me off this. Im just not a great fan of this type, and feel compelled to agree with TT thoughts on this subject (not sure its gonna put me off buying one though )Cheers John_o The Dyno operator saw the power tailing off past 5.5k on the OEM airbox so that's why he didn't push it any further.I never really like the idea of an oiled panel filter (partly because of T_T's comments) but after having the reasons for the oil explained in great detail by Andy @ ITG, plus seeing the inside of the original filter cone I ran for nearly 10k miles, was spotless inside the ali spinning, I can say now say I have no issues with the oiled filter.
