So after dave80 told me K&N Filters for the car are on sale during Black Friday ($37 plus $10 rebate), I decided to get one and see if there is any difference in performance.
 
Testing was done from 30-60 and 40-80 very most consistent results since I most likely couldn't do the same exact launch every single time for 0-60. (Plus there was a small amount of moisture on the road)
 
Le Filter ->
 
 
Le Testing results -> 
 
 
Test Notes:
 - Can't really feel any difference by the seat of my pants (didn't expect to)
 - MPG seem to be up slightly (yay)
 - Seems that it does make the car slightly quicker
 - Based on testing, the filter is good for a tenth or so in the 1/4 mile or longer roll runs.
 - Based on 40-80, it seems that the K&N car is 10 feet in front at 80 mph which is roughly 1/2 car, not bad.
 
Will most likely retest a 0-60 to see if there is any difference when it dries up a bit.
 
Thanks guys.

That would be consistent with the experiences we have seen so far.  The filter, rather than the intake kit, performs better.  Waiting to see results from the "dry" runs :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Bingo, that is why I didn't pony up the extra money for a full intake or anything other then a filter, the gains really aren't there for the $$$$.

Has anyone done this with a dry flow filter rather than an oiled filter like the K&N? I assume the results would be very similar.

I can def say there are "sound" gains from the DryFlow, not sure about performance gains, though another Edge owner (11+) has seen some mpg improvements.

Nice to see some hard numbers.  Looks like this maybe something I pick up.
