I call BS for a couple of reasons Ryan...

the AFM is the restriction NOT the stock airbox opening and I can't think of a chassis dyno that's accurate enough to show a 2hp gain/loss even if you dyno'd the mod on the same day.

In the real world I'd expect to see a loss in hp running an open element filter exposed to engine bay heat compared to a stock Toyota paper element in the stock airbox.

My seat of the pants dyno confirms your speculations. The hot and humid climate of Florida only adds more heat to the underhood temps.

The money I spent on the Apexi filter could have been spent better elsewhere. In my humble opinion.
