Don't bother, if you were to take a look at the top of your air box after having one in there for a few years, you will see a fine dust which the performance filters let through, this in turn mixes with crankcase oil and turns into a sort of grinding paste inside the engine.

In some cases, the oily coating the performance filters have also caused issues further up the system

Stick with the original filter, and also make sure they add the one with the winter foam on the front of it, this catches even more dirt before it enters your combustion chamber, and don't be fooled by the YouTube flow rate comparisons you see.

If you want more performance, take some weight out of the car 🙂
