Foam Filters VS K&N Filters

[RangerRick]

Ok I tryed doing a search but I didnt come up with what I wanted.Can anybody here that KNOWS the real difference between foam and paper elements,specifically the K&N tell me about them?Flow,duribility,resistance to conditions,etc.Are there any charts comparing power made by the two?I just want to get the facts straight.Thanks.

The type of irrefutable data you seek seems hard to come by. I've relied partly on anecdotal data but primarily my own experience to make up my mind on K&N vs. foam.

BTW, K&Ns are made from a gauze-type material (cloth, basicaly) not paper.
