One subjective data point for an MC motor with the stock air box: the
difference between stock and K&N air filter elements is not great enough
to detect by seat-o-the-pants method. The engine is a Ned stage I plus
RS2 and other flow related mods. On the other hand, the wife's N/A
Honda obviously breathes better at high altitude (above 9000 ft.) with a
K&N. I don't know what it means either. Perhaps the filter is not a
limiting factor in the MC's intake path.
