Wrong. It's because they didn't have MAF meters and computer feedback that outsmarted the extra airflow back then...you should have figured that out for yourself. And I don't think they're for performance and good savings at the pump, I've always said that's what others might think...I say they're a sound mod and they can be reused.

And they did claim to give you more HP and THOSE filters did.

They still push the performance claims...usually "3-5 hp gain" for drop-ins, yes?

Then many years down the road the developers decided to come up with reusable filters for your everyday driver.(Drop-ins) Because of their history of their performance filters people, like you, assume

YOU assumed wrong.

that the drop-ins will have the same effects that the performance filters and intake systems. Now they could have came out and said, "Our new filters do not provide as many benefits as our old filters," but I guess they thought that consumers, like you, were smarter than that.

A paper filter like Amsoil's Ea air filter, or a PureONE air filter will trap about 50x more dust (Amsoil's claim) than a shallow pleated, small square inched, oiled filter...and with your very dusty conditions you'd be able to figure that one out for yourself, or not.

BTW: LMAO, and to deflate the desperate little reaching again...I've got a K&N filter on the shelf for a Honda customer that's coming in next week...want to know what claims are on the box, in order which they appear?...it's a DROP-IN

"Designed to increase horsepower & acceleration"
"Washable/reusable/lifetime product"
