Scott Dalgleish commented on this in Issue 54 page 126 since he was always sucking down the filter minder on his turned-up 05. Looks like he tried several, but didn't say what brands (or if any of them were the AFE):
"We went on to try several different aftermarket filters. They included filters made with oiled foam, paper, and the ever-popular wet gauze filters. Each time the results were the same: the filter was clean and the filter minder displayed a restriction under heavy throttle. On some applications we even experienced slight black smoke with heavy throttle. . . . so I bought two filters (Amsoil part number EaA 189) and we both tried them [one was for Dave Perea]. The problem went away. No more restriction. No more smoke. "
