MG MGF Technical - RR test of enclosed cone filters

I know that Rob has carried out a comparison of the Rover 820 airbox versus the ITG Maxogen. http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/airbox_pix/airbox_pages/r820_airbox_versus_itg.htm (good work Rob)

But has anyone done a before and after test on enclosing a cone filter? i.e. enclosed K&N 57i vs non-enclosed K&N 57i

My experience of RR (with a non-enclosed K&N 57i) shows that the initial run is always the best and when the engine bay warms up the subsequent runs are a few BHP down. Obviously this effect was exaggerated by a lack of cold air feed from under the car that is normally generated by the cars forward motion.
