i wouldn't spend money on fancy claims, which is why i went with an ITG one, cheaper than some other brandings (used by some f1 teams, like hat isn't a claim many have made for their products over the years)

People might take the piss, and I very much doubt you would get 3bhp never mind 10, but, they really do make a very noticable difference, I've had all sorts of panel filters and induction kits over the years, and I swear by the viper, by a distance the best filter I've ever had

i chucked a cheap cone filter on my seat ibiza gti when i had it, it felt as though there was a little more pull over 5000rpm, probably down to the fact the original filter setup had loads of bends in it.
