Intakes: are there any tests on which have OEM-like filtration?

I know people have conducted tests on intakes to test its flow and what not, but have people tested the filters' ability to actually filter particles?

I'm thinking of getting an intake just for sound but worried the increased filtration filters will let more particles in, and potentially cause bore scoring (is that common?). Seems like my only option is to remove the snow guard and keep the oem filter.

Worth checking out the bobistheoilguy.com forums. You can kinda evaluate this by looking at silicon levels in used oil analysis. I really doubt you'll blow a motor by using an off the shelf air filter, though.
