This is kind of a weird topic to me as I can't think of any reason to not protect the engine with a filter.  
 
That damn Tracy is just steering us all wrong again :-)   
 
I think everyone would like to have their engine protected by a filter, but not everyone has room for one, and not everyone thinks it's worth the performance penalty.  I do worry a bit about picking up an odd piece of gravel, or something hard like that, but I'm not worried about dust and dirt.  For the record, I actually worry more about taking a piece of FOD to the oil cooler or evap core.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (noting that it's way past noon Eastern time)
