If you really want to know if there is restriction gains, place a vacuum gauge on the charge pipe right after the filter (MAF area). At WOT there should be zero vacuum since the inlet should be the same pressure as barometric at this point.

If it shows a vacuum, that's the loss from the filter - there will be some, but not a lot.

Ijs, this sort of deformation doesn't happen if there isn't a significant load on the filter.

In 902 miles and less than a month (installed 8/23, removed 9/12) my Pipercross looked like crap. I replaced it with the Burger Motor Sports Billet intake.

Sorry to hear that, how do you like the BMS intake?
