I recommend K&N. I've been using the drop-in ones in both my N/A C900 (for six years) & my turbo 9³ (for four years). Oil analysis on both cars have tested very low (0-8 ppm) for silicon over 5k-9k mile oil change intervals. (They're all over on BITOG.) I've only cleaned the C900's filter once so far, & haven't cleaned the 9³'s at all yet.
As others have said, don't expect to see/feel much of a change in engine performance. While a less restrictive filter _will_ help engine performance, I changed primarily because I wanted a lifetime filter. With the excellent filtering results I'm getting, I don't see ever going back to throw-away filters.
