David,
The gains are based on a percentage and usually around 5% for turbos as the original factory filter is too restrictive for the engine. The impact is less on an NA engine, which is around 1-3% improvement.

The link that you provided on the above test is done on a Supra, with a base HP of 280HP. A gain of 5% is around 14hp, which is about correct. If you put the same filter into a 110HP 1.6 engine, you will only see a gain of 1-3HPs.

Yes, i know this, for me, I prefer performance more than other things, so I am considering HKS,

HKS can last for 3 years, while K&N last forever with regular services....

HKS filtration is bad and is not meant for daily use. Furthermore, there's no performance diff between them, not enough to be shown on a dyno chart, esp if your car is less than 200hps. However, the difference in filtration is big.
