Most gasoline engines are made as efficient as possible out of the factory, so I would guess "chipping" it wouldn't be worth the investment.

I considered a "wet" filter on my prior (diesel) truck and a couple of people talked me out of it, as former owners of them. There would be no difference in problems they described for a gasoline engine. They are a more of a pain to maintain and don't believe the sales guy who says, they just need to be hosed down every year or so. They are messy and they didn't think they did any better and now they are voiding warranties because some residue was detected in their engines. HUH? you need a filter for your filter? I didn't bother. I gave up on them. Admittedly, I never investigated these problems any further so I don't know if they were isolated problems or not.
