Nor me Ian.
My Supra has a K&N panel element and my other cars run K&N cones on long cold air intakes.
John - I think you may have misundersttod me.
I wasn't suggesting the mass of an air filter would be an issue ( ). What I was getting at was where Pete got his opinion from and under what circumstances did HE think paper was better than foam. I was trying to say that a foam filter could be made as good as a paper one but there would inevitably be trade offs in potential pressure drop, thickness, filter size, cost etc. A blanket statement saying foam is worse than paper sounded a little "rigid". Does a paper element offer as good pressure drop as a foam filter when wet for example?
Is was a bit of a pointless comment anyway as I am not a supporter of foam filters and have never used one personally.
