Improvised air filter, is it good idea?

I've seen it. Those guys don't know jack.

I've been to numerous tuning and testing sessions on the dyno. Filters CAN make extra power. They just have to be designed properly. Hell, Sport Compact Car managed to eke out enough extra power to show up on the quarter mile by removing the snorkel on an airbox, and taping it up (hood off) so the air filter faced into the wind (ram effect).

What doesn't work is simply slapping something extra in without proper testing and design.
