It blows the stock filter away!! It also has a high "load" ability, meaning it can hold a LOT of dirt without affecting restriction to much.

Its a little old now, but the data should still be good. The "Baldwin" is the same as a Tymar in that study. It has good flow and low restriction, along with high filtration and high loading. Just an overall good filter.

That's because both Donaldson and Baldwin sell the Duralite filter that is used on the Tymar intake. Only those two companies are licensed to use the filter media which repels water.
As to the restricton compared to cotton filters, the Tymar will still have less filtration because it is an open element design and it is larger than the filters I've seen by K&N and others.

It has BETTER filtration that the others, with only the slightest sacrifice in restriction compared to the others. As per the data charts I posted above.
