Friend of mine with access to some seriously impressive test gear ran a 1ZZ both with and without the OEM air filter, and there were no gains at all.

Given that the OEM filter is the same as used in the 2ZZ engine which develops 50bhp more, then you can see why there's precious little to be gained from a filter change.
