Default K&N cone filters really better?

they're obviously more expensive than all the other cone filters... it is actually better? performance, durability... etc... basically are they worth the extra $$

i have a iceman w/ the stock blue filter which I've heard is K&N but isn't the same shape.. longer and more narrow.

All filters were tested on a modified (300ps) JZA70 Toyota Supra for power gains.

To see how the fine particle filtering performance was tested

I think they are definitely worth it (esp. since they are reusable). Came on my Iceman CAI.

I think K&N cones do flow and filter better because of the increased surface area and filtering media. Whether or not, you'll see a difference in a relatively stock Honda is up for debate.
