The ones that use undrilled baffles, I can understand being legal, even if it's a bit tenuous.
But the ones that use fully-machined monocores... Nope. They're just waiting for the ATF to catch wind of it.

So, would an oil filter actually significantly suppress the sound of firing or is that just more condom/nipple nonsense from the sage at the end of the bar?

Yes, it does work - especially with low powered cartridges, like .22 rimfire.
However, that does not matter from a legal perspective. The ATF has had upheld in court that
intent is what matters, not efficacy.
You can stuff a toilet paper roll full of pillow stuffing and tape it to the end of the barrel, and be in violation of the law. Anyone with a brain knows that it will not work, and will be destroyed with a single use.
But that doesn't matter. That exact scenario result in convictions for a man that used 'teddy bear stuffing'.
I can't remember what case that was. I'm sure someone else here is familiar with it.
