I wouldn't go near those things. Its been pretty well established that filters like that really hurt airflow. Same thing with the sock type filters. Try these--or something similar--whatever width and depth would suit you:

You just have to drill the backing plate to match the opening of your throttle bodies. I would get the deepest filter that would fit without hitting the firewall or brake booster.

From BK? I would take the BQE to the Tri-Boro, to 87 north (Deegan) to the Sprain--to Thornwood exit, then its a few local roads.....Although you could also take the Hutch, to 684 get off at exit 3 S--the "town" is right there.

What did you do in ARmonk?

There has been a few dyno sheets I have seen where it showed that the TWM airbox lost some peak power while possibly helping the midrange. I was looking into the TWM for my Weber DCOEs a while ago but I don't know if it will hurt or help....I run the Pipercross one piece foam filters I linked to before.

find a post by DonF. He noted hardly any loss with the use of filters.

Mickey may be able to help you out with those.

I've been selling a lot of Outerwears lately, they are 25 micron and water repellant, @ $70/set of 4. I can have black, red, blue, purple, lime green and orange made up. lmk

How are the outerwears on HP loss? Do you have a dyno vs. open?

I'm kinda in the market too.. TIA

I haven't had a customer do a before and after dyno test so, unfortunately, I do not have any facts on HP loss. According to Outerwears, the booties they make for us "maintain peak air flow".

The correct filter won't really present any loss--ITG or Pipercross. The ones shown on top of the page most likely will pose a restriction.

Its not so much the filtering area, but the fact they are sitting right on the radius of the trumpets which tends to upset the air flow into the trumpets.
