don't expect to get any noticable hp out of a filter if not any hp. even tone really.

All other things being equal, you have to decrease filtering capability/capacity to increase flow.
crazy!

when you consider that toyota prides itself on long running cars, they put incredibly restrictive filters in to keep the engine as clean as possible. almost to the point of overkill.
a replacement filter will increase performance. maybe not statistically but throttle response can be improved.
also, lexus uses the most cost effective means of air filtration while keeping the engine clean. HKS *could* employ a more expensive solution that is relatively as clean but allows for greater air flow.

err actually yea i've seen plenty. toyotas typically have some of the cleanist 100k mileage engines you'll find w/ all variants equal.
to gain HP, more power to the wheels much exist. an airfilter with the design of remaining clean but less obtrusive to air can increase initial response by allowing more air into the throttle body initially. through the powerband however it might not be as recognizable.
i never said the HKS was going to add 20hp or anything. its a drop in filter, and history has taught us they rarely decrease performance. changing the DESIGN of the air filter unit can however.
