Wouldn't call it that, the filters will become much more beneficial once performance mods/tunes are released. On a stock platform, there's not too much that can be gained - but you can hear the turbos slightly after installation.

Nothing wrong with getting a head start.

We're using the BMC filters. As for differences, the BMC filters have a much better build quality than K&N, specially on wicking (where filter media meets poly gasket).
