the way i look at it, air filter are nothing new, and there hasnt been any significant development pushes in a while. any good brand filter is gonna work just as good as the next. i like the hks because of the velocity stack design. but now that i see it on the car im pretty ehhh..... about it. that K&N really looks stellar and its 20 bucks cheaper. so i think its a win win

I have heard and witnessed the HKS foam filters wear out from enough use, and begin to dry/rot out; small pieces can flake away and potentially be sucked in by your motor/turbo. YMMV, but they wouldn't be my first choice.
AEM filters are pretty good though!
BMC makes a filter called the "carbon dynamic airbox", I'm thinking of going with this particular filter setup on my miata project, but the 4" in/out model is like $300... compared to a $50 AEM, idk...
