I think if they have a frame that holds them away from the inlets then its not the same as traditional filter socks. I am running an ITG framed foam filter and on a rolling road it makes no difference fitted or not.....I does have 2" of clearance from the inlet trumpet ends though.

Air filters are no more than rock catchers in the competition application. Any attempt at filtration will cause a pressure drop in the induction flow. A decent plenum chamber is without a doubt the tool for the job, but not always a practicality. I've used 'Wilco' tea strainers wired down to all four trumpets of my 2 x 45 DCOE Xflow Westie for some two / three years without any problem.
Be assured that a stone or even a small nut being sucked into the induction manifold WILL cause damage, if you are unlucky then it will be expensive damage ~ for the sake of a couple of quid put the tea strainers on !

So is the brand new Pipercross I just bought going to be a waste of money. As far as I am concerned, if it stops anything from going in, I shall be happy. It only wants one gravel chipping and the engine could be wrecked. Neither can I understand why some competitors insist on running with the cam belt covers removed, could be they want to show of the fancy pulleys. A friend got a pebble in his, the belt slipped and wrecked the cylinder head.....

A bit of bent welding rod threaded through the foam filters solved the problem.
