 +<​blockquote>​We have done tests on multiple Twin Cams, and always seen an increase in RWHP & torque. \\
 +We have also tested a couple of Sportys and have not seen significant gain in RWHP & torque. \\
 +Although we have had reports from others that they have seen an increase on Sportys, \\
 +We've not seen it on the couple we've tested. Twin Cam and Evolution motors are significantly different. \\
 +However, on start-up and high RPM the paper filters go into bypass mode. \\
 +That means there is no filtration happening at start-up and most importantly,​ at high RPM. \\
 +The added benefits of a pre-filter magnet, some cooling benefits along with better filtration are worth it.
 +Plus, less garbage going into landfills is a not a bad thing. \\
 +Also, if you ride a lot, in the long run, there is a financial savings to not buying so many disposable oil filters. \\
