| | <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. \\ |
