When I was reading up about filters, the general consensus was that they did hit power - by how much I don't know, there were different opinions out there.

My opinion about it is that it depends on how close you have items near the end of the trumpets - like having the socks crammed in over the end of the trumpets isn't going to be great, whereas having the end of the trumpets 40-50mm away from the end should be okay?

Another thing worth bearing in mind is the sausage filters have an internal metal gauze that stops the bodies eating away at the filter - whereas the socks don't so I think you need to run them a bit further away from the end of the trumpet ?

I've not run mine without a filter to see how it affects the fueling on my map - might run it without a filter for a bit after FCS to try it out before I split my engine up.
