Some people are willing to trade durability for looks and performance. On the street, I use thse oval air cleaners. They cost me about 45hp across the board. I have to change the fuel map to match the restriction.
On the track, I use these open stacks. They're the best performance. I do suck in a little dirt and stuff. Doesn't seem to be a problem, though. I tear down the engine every other year for an overhaul. In this picture, you can see the "tea strainer" air cleaners. Believe it or not, these "filters" cost 100hp! Yup, 100hp, dyno proven.

At one time, I got the bright idea of removing the foam element in the tea strainers, and replacing them with K&N gauze filters. I bought a flat repalcement type filter, flattened it out, and cut out 8 circles. That turned out to be a bad idea. The engine ate 3 of them.
