Anyone try a TRUE FLOW filter?

Has anyone ever tried the brand TRUE FLOW: Foam Filter? I got a 2000 A6 2.7T Quattro 6 spd.
just want some better performance....their website shows a lot of gains by using a foam over say a K&N.....

If it's on the internet, it must be true.

My experience with K&N over 25k miles is that it did nothing noticeable for performance and only helped gas mileage a tiny bit.

Most of these aftermarket filters just let in more dirt and do not improve performance.

was just asking asking if anyone had ever used 1 before, i read that the K&N can be bad for the 2.7t because the oil on/in the filter can plug the MAF.
