Notice how these filters never report on scoring of the cylinders? You can't have both better filtration and sustained air flow.

Which testing method do you propose we have the Pipercross filter and other brands sent out to be tested by?

ECS I frankly don't know which would be either air flow or horsepower you guys pick it out.but frankly I'm interested in the piper.had bad experience with a k&n look alike and I tend to shy sway from oily filters

ECS, not downing your product what so ever. Why do we filter the incoming air into our high precision turbo diesel only to shoot soot into it throught the EGR. Bone head in my book. It should be filtered too. I don't care if i have to replace a $50 part every once in a while. To see that stuff in my intake made me sick to my stomach. I need to have this coded off and then check into cleaning out the intake. Some of you have told me that it is normal and that is fine if all TDIs do this but it is still BONE HEADED to filter inlet air and then shoot crap into intake anyway.

I'm right here, never left.

Currently we don't have a 335D here to do testing on. So any testing in regards to Pipercross would have to wait until we have a car on site as well as time to allocate to testing.

LOL amigo ECS Im glad you're working with us. Whenever you get one go for it. I really like the design of Piper cross better than K&N but I would prefer a filter a la AMSOIL which carries some microfiber instead of paper, but they dont have any drop ins for our "D"s, I had a bad experience with with an oiled cone filter I bought from Mini-Madness on my 02 MCS and eventually screwed my MASS Flow Sensor I hope the Piper doesnt do the same!!

Oiling of the filter is something even I was worried about at first, but the Pipercross oiling instructions are very simple. Following them leads to a properly oiled filter which will no release oil down the intake into the sensors.
