Please tell us more about how companies that use foam filters don't know what they're doing...

Its the size and surface area of the air filter that is to small to allow the engine to breathe properly, those green foam filters look like they be long on a 350cc dirt bike and they appear to be only about 5" dia x 2" in size.

In comparison to the external K/N units they appear to be a 1/3 rd of the size or less.

I'm sorry they are bigger than that. Top Secret uses HKS air filters for their intakes. I havent measured but they are either 200mm (7.87in) or they are the twin 150mm (5.9 in). Most likely with the 80mm inlet.

HKS USA Super Mega Flow Reloaded Kits (more)

Its just my tiltshift photography that makes it look miniature. :P
