Absolutely correct. I've used the piping, but found a Pipercross dry foam filter produced the best results regarding, throttle response, FOT vacuum, operating temperature and other factors in comparison to filters such as K&N.

This was proven in a test with the Pipercross range, and the cone filter produced the best results for cold air intake and operating temperatures as the density of the air will result in better performance or not.

AEM Dry Flow is the best flowing and filters the finest sized particles.

However if you have a ram air intake you don't have a filter at all.
