What you guys are talking about is a low-restriction air filter.

Of course with low restriction comes a downside, more and larger particles of dirt get into the engine. Seen two tests by independent test facilities.

Also I've had tuners with no axe to grind or $ to gain by selling me something tell me the stock air filter is just fine for about everything but a highly enlarged/modified/tracked motor.

I still have the standard air filter in my system, only changed the intake pipe.

The Porsche offering has a muffler to cut down the induction roar, I replaced it with a straight through pipe as per my previous posting. It's a little larger diameter, aluminium instead of plastic and no restricting muffler arrangement.

Sounds good at full throttle.
