One key gain you won't see unless you inspect the filter is how much better it filters the air, which aside from slightly improved MPG's, is a benefit. Plus they aren't that much more than OEM.I'm not one to make these kinds of mods to a car, but I do question how effective things like these are in improving power output without a lot of other mods.
I think this article takes a good look at how filters really perform, may be old but they do make a good points about how much more dirt passes through: K&N Air Filter Review - Debunking the Myths (and why OEM is better)
The old report posted mentioned this though?Specially when a K&N Filter is washable and reusable.

Often air flow to these can be improved with custom air channels build within the bumper-rebar area leading up the engine bay and to the filter. Who wants to be the first to try?TRD makes an intake kit for our cars. They're spendy.

AEM already has a design like that for the C-HR. If the filter came in an enclosed box like the TRD intake, I’d be more inclined to buy. I would also add a velocity stack to the pipe as well.Often air flow to these can be improved with custom air channels build within the bumper-rebar area leading up the engine bay and to the filter.

I can't seem to find that listed on their site. Would you happen to have a link by chance?AEM already has a design like that for the C-HR. If the filter came in an enclosed box like the TRD intake, I’d be more inclined to buy. I would also add a velocity stack to the pipe as well.
Just installed this. Love it.AEM already has a design like that for the C-HR. If the filter came in an enclosed box like the TRD intake, I’d be more inclined to buy. I would also add a velocity stack to the pipe as well.
It's a total ripp off! Just buy the filter separé and save like 150$ for the housing that fits original filter! New housing is just taller and has TuRD logo on it lolTRD makes an intake kit for our cars. They're spendy.

These filters had a lower initial restriction, but they became exponentially more restrictive under a constant flow of dirt."
