Green Filters?

I have read a few posts that mentioned "Green Filters". What are they, and what do they do? And where do you buy them? Thanks to all.

10hp thats unlikely. More like 2hp. So they are like K&N brand. I just use the OEM one.

GREEN filters are rated a bit better than K&N.
Anyone who claims HP gain from just air filters is blowing air up your @rse...
There is a gain in air intake efficiency which could lead to higher HP output in combination with other engine factors.
At the most, if you're lucky, you'll get 2 HP. But how do you measure that,
without very precise instrumentation and exactly identical testing conditions before & after.

Here's more info on GREEN filters:

I felt a difference when I installed my green filters, but then again the ones that were in there were Black!
