well they often filter the air less well than the OEM filter, and nearly all of the things result in hot air being taken into the engine reducing performance and economy as well as causing over-fuelling. Ever wonder why they're not fitted to high performance cars?

Very minimal increase if any. In some cases, it can be more restrictive than standard. They work best with additional modifications, but with a standard setup nothing noticable, although you will get an increase in induction noise... depends what you want really
