Explain this please. How can it possibly filter more, when there are visable gaps between the foam "strands"? IMO the K&N is going to filter much more shit out than a foam filter would, as it relies on the tight weave of the cotton, not the coating of oil that the air may or maynot come into contact with.

They're also a lot easier to clean and if your filter's falling apart, speak to Pipercross!

The only reason the BFO is bigger is because it's supposed to be the biggest filter you're able to squeeze under the Corsa B bonnet!

foam filters are not as good as cotton gauze.

Why would you want a K&N when you've got Pipercross' foam filters.

loudness is pants. you want a filter that works. BFO do not come with cold air ducting. K&N do
