Which filter for the N55?? AFE or HP Autowerks?

Im looking to purchase a drop in filter for my n55. I saw on HP Atuowerks site that they have the AFE which they say flows 33% more than stock and the HP Autowerks filter which just says is a high performance filter over stock.

Has anyone tested the AFE filter?

The aFe N55 Direct Replacement filter have been an extremely popular choice with my customers. Your correct as the aFe Replacement Air Filter outflows the factory air filter by 33% and is designed to improve both performance and fuel economy. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of this setup for you to check out

I went with the ITG foam filter from HP Autowerks for my N54 and I love it. Their foam filter is basically the same. Extra torque feels good. Wanted to try something different than the regular cotton/guaze.
