UPD vs Weistec High Flow Air Filter
Looking at the UPD and the Weistec High Flow Air filter - looking at the pics they seem to do the same thing just differently
Can anyone weigh in? Both seem to increase flow, and be less restrictive.

Buy the upd kit. The spacers add hp/tq. I dyno'd my car with stock filter, aftermarket filters and filters and spacers and picked up HP/Tq after each change. I picked up ~10-15 witl filters and another 10-15 with filters/spacers. All dyno done same day. I would provide dyno sheets but the A$$ holes at World in Torrance screwed up the day and then promised to send me the info and never did. SCREW THEM.

Indeed I am. I made an appointment. Showed up on time. His regular dyno guy had family issues (totally understandable). The second guy handled my dyno. Set it up in AWD mode, even though I'm RWD and then dyno'd 370 whp (from a 2012 E63 M157 with PP). I was there to get gain % for each step so whatever. Well, after was all said and done, Craig said he'd send me the dyno printouts after his regular guy got back. That was probably 6 months ago. Screw them, I can't even back calculate actual gains from a real dyno to know what I got. They have baseline, filters and filters/spacers dynos. grrrrrr

the UPD setup is a no brainer for the E63 and legit... have it in mine and hopefully will get around to a dyno in the spring. i wanted the black coated but was fine with the red ones you see here. shardul service is great...

2014 E63S; AMS 100 octane ecu tune; edok tcu tune; BB intakes; dyno tuned
Will this add hp/tq to my ams tuned e63S?
also are these dry or oiled filters?
if oiled, are these at risk of harming sensors?
