Joe with the gunmetal DSM had one on his car when he rebuilt the motor, it folded in on itself while he was making a run on the dyno, then sprung back out when he let off. when we noticed it we took the filter off, it was so restrictive that the car would not idle without it, had to retune the ecu to get the car to idle.
buy a good K&N for the next time you go to dyno, I'm pretty sure you might see a difference, especially up top.

The filter doesnt seem to be causing any problems and certainly doesnt collapse on itself, but next time Im on the dyno, Ill make a run with and without the filter and see if there is a gain.
