The reason I like the K&N, you can see when / if the filter needs to be cleaned. Plus there is more open air surrounding the filter other than stuffed inside of a plastic box. The K&N does include the "wall" to "separate" between the pipe and filter. I think this to try and reduce the heat soak into the filter. I have been happy with it. I have had it for 3 years now.
