Generally speaking they don't help much. Most of them draw warmer air from inside the engine compartment than compared to the OEM design which pulls air from outside the vehicle somewhere. So you usually see warmer intake air temps with the aftermarket setup. The filters do not filter small particles as well as a stock filter, which means you're effectivley sandblasting the inside of the venturis on your throttle body as you drive. Also the oil that's used on the filter fouls up the elements on all mass airflow sensors.

They really only make a difference in sound. If Ford/ChevyToyota/etc could skip the billions in R&D and just throw K&Ns on everything to meet CAFE regs it would have been done by now. Save your money and buy gas cards.
