UNI Air filters-- anyone using them?

I was talking with someone involved in building a Baja project vehicle, and he was talking about their plan to use UNI air filters.

Well, I'm curious, so I go surfing and find http://www.unifilter.com/

The UNI filters are oiled foam (like Amsoil)- NOT oiled gauze (like K&N, AFE, etc.)

These filters are VERy popular for motocross, ATVs, and other off-roaders and have a reputation for great filtration among the Baja racers.

I would imagine that an oiled foam might not flow QUITE as much as the oiled gauze, but the filtration seems to be a much higher quality.

They list a drop-in for the CTD on their website. But they also list a universal cone filter with various IDs available.

What's the ID of the stock air snorkel? I wonder if one of these couldn't be made to work.

BTW- they're WAY WAY cheaper than an AFE or similar- these go for around $50.
