With the M5 / M6 filters, poor fitment and also the surface area was really small when compared to the BMCs or stock filters. The M5 / M6 guys who ordered the K&N saw decreased power, higher temps and worse throttle response.

K&N also brought out a Typhoon Cold Air Kit but this threw codes like crazy and some thought it was slower than stock.

See below....which would you rather have??? Some one is going to have to be a test subject....
