I have the washable air filters on 2 of my frequently driven vehicles; the 84 Mercedes 300D and my Chevy Astro Van. And you can see from the date on the thread how long I have been using them (since July of 2010). I have 2 washables for each vehicle so I can swap and wash and dry.
Zero noticeable performance issues on either vehicle and the one on the Van is rather small and cannot be oversized as it has to fit into the stock Air Box.
The WA8039 Filter on the Mercedes is one used on the Largest Ford V-8 gasser Trucks and Vans.
On the Freeway that Van likes 70 mph and out of town has no issues going 90mph.
Notice that when others argue opinion I try to post some info beyond my opinion.

I notice that you don't address anyone else's explanation and come up with your own logic.
You're allowing more particles in your engines because the filters you're relying upon allow more dirt through. I said this already and you ignored it. How do I know this? Because you're now saying that there's no performance loss, which one wouldn't experience if the filters were letting in bigger particles like I said.
