Aftermarket -OEM airfilter shootout ?

I thought someone had taken the time and compared OEM, and different brands of aftermarket airfilters. I believe it was on on Ford 6.0l or 7.3l. They measured airflow and HP gain on dyno. I have searched and could not find the results. Can anyone help ?

I think this is smoke and mirrors. I read an article in DP comparing Aftermarket filters, they were HAD ALL THE SAME RESULTS. I don't know how these people can say +22hp and that BS. There are more than 1 articles where the Advertised gains are NOT met.
I think they cheat, Dynoing a "choked up engine" then snap one of there filters on it and Re-dyno it. Sure you would see +22 then.
This is for bench top racing.

The chart I reviewed actually showed the OEM filter having more flow than all of them.
