1) I think the gains of long tube intakes are very well documented at this point and that I have yet to anyone running K&N filters matching power levels of those running long tube intakes even when matched with the intake coupling.

2) Exhausts: you have to consider that it can never be an entirely fair comparison because unless every exhaust manufacturer uses the exact same dyno and the exact same car on the exact same day with the exact same temperatures and ambient conditions... Well, you probably get the drift.

3) I agree whole heartedly, the weights of wheels are very important in my personal decision making and have noticed a fair amount of ambiguity surrounding this topic even from vendors and manufacturers selling them.
