The BMC and K&N filters provide a modest gain, as long as you keep them clean. If you change your stock filter often (say 2-3 times a year like I would here in NorCal) then the oiled filters are more economical which I think is the biggest advantage. The key with any filter is cleanliness.
There are a lot of stories about MAFs and oil... noyt sure I believe them, but I would not "over oil" my filter.
My current car has a custom, carbon fiber airbox and a cone filter. Fits under the 3.8 rsr wing. Makes power.

Both BMC and K&N are used in high levels of motorsport - Ferrari and Minardi use BMC in F1 and Honda (along with the rest of the Indy car paddock) uses K&N in the IRL engines. Both, in my experience (in these installations) have performed well so I believe both are reputable manufacturers. As for this particular installation, for me the K&N works well, seems to fit the motor sound air intake OK. As for performance improvements....... maybe you would see an increase in mass airflow on a flow bench, but is it something you would notice in the car - I doubt it
I have the kit................
brand new. Make me an offer and I'll ship it of.

The filter has to be removed to clean it.
I think if you carefully folow the instructions you'll be ok.
