Because they have to build these cars with daily driving in mind and they also have to build them for people who don't change their filters. They also have to be able to manage in the dirtiest of conditions. If you are using you car to commute daily in a polluted, heavy traffic setting, a high flow filter may not be the best choice. If your car is a toy that sees less than 5000 miles a year of country driving and the track in dry weather, you will be fine.
And yes, it's very noticable, but for maintaince you must either like swapping filters (and cleaning, takes time or a second pair) or use the regular airfilters.

I agree, my daily driver (30k a year) did get a swap of airfilters (BMC) and ECU tune (for running RON 102) the moment I didn't used it for daily runs.

Decision made on Dry versus oiled filters for 718 Cayman GT4 ...
Guys,
Old thread but new post ...................
I'm going to give the following a try.

well I got some and the org screws are too long so when you fit the filters it just pops of and snaps the filter lugs !!
£200 down the toilet unless my shops helps me out. DEF DON;T use org Screws !!! or fit some washers !

that sucks - just FYI the BMC filters worked perfectly with the OEM screws....did you remember to take off the rubber seals from the OEM and place them on the new ones? - I forgot to do this 1st time ...

Are you saying that the RS uses BMC filters? IF so, that is interesting and tells me that Porsche puts a lot of faith in their quality.
YouTube videos show BMC and K&N with great airflow but practically no filtering.

Just useful information.
Here are some images for you on the Verus components included with their filters.
Plus watch the install video below from Flat 6 Motorsports.
Cayman Air Filter Install (How-To) - By Flat 6 Motorsports
I did also consider the BMC filter but after more research between the oiled versus Dry filters.
And talking with Jon Swift (Owner) at Flat 6 MOTORSPORTS.
I went with the Dry Verus filters.
BMC
HIGHEST QUALITY
The BMC air filter is composed of a metallic mesh covered by an oiled multilayer cotton filtration material.
This guarantees a high level of filtering efficiency and a limited loss of air pressure.
The oil used gives the material its “sticky” adhesive characteristic which aids in the retention of air impurities, without compromising or blocking air flow penetration.
This also creates a continuous filtering process.
The cotton filtrating element is contained within an external support frame which interfaces with the air box and allows it to be securely installed in the air-box.
Every stage of the production process (from design to manufacturing) is carried out in Italy by Italian engineers using the finest materials.

I used BMC and they snapped the lugs ! , screws too long, I see Virus supply shorter screws :-)
I also had BMC in my 991.2 GT3 they were 991.2 RS parts.

odd, they are def too long, you get a gap in the filter then you goto turn a few more turns to close the gap and snap off come the lugs.
funny how Versus have used smaller screws. I bet yours lugs have cracked it's unavoidable !
