I have no idea as to which one filters better but I can tell you that the
K&N filter will last you a lot longer. My gut feeling is that the K&N also
filters better. Something about foam doesnt work quite right. I have a foam
filter in my Vacume cleaner and it spewes fine dust all over the side of my
car if the exhaust of the vacume is pointing at the car at the time. 
Id stick with the K&N, you pay more but then again, you get what you pay for
too...
