I know an H3 owner "WhiteH3"(his - Elcova H3 Forum name). He's the first to have a K&N Air Intake kit installed on an H3. K&N's R&D department installed it for him and did some dyno testing too. I'll contact him so that he can post some pics and dyno charts, etc. However, you may want to check out this webpage on air filters. It's technical but very informative...

Those reports pretty much mimic reports I have read that were performed by GM/Ford, and a friend at Nissan told me there test showed the same.
What people have to realize is if a manufacturer could boost HP and fuel mileage by adding a foam/oil filter, they would do it in a minute.
In addition, since H3's will be off-roaded quite a bit, the entrance of dirt would bother me.
One thing this report mentioned that I never read in any other report, is the part about a paper filter collapsing when wet. That is a good point, and for mudders, a foam/oil might be the way to go.
