I have the comptech sri with the ice box. The filter is a foam filter. The K&N is better in my opinion, in regards to trapping more junk. I would go with the k&n if i had a choice, but im broke so im sticking with the comptech.
Actually this isn't necessarily true. After doing a recent used oil analysis (UOA), I only had 2 ppm of Silicone in my oil. I've seen UOA's on K&N filters that had abnormally high levels of silicone. The reason silicone levels are important is that are a good indicator of how well your air filter is prevent particles from entering your engine.
