anyone use those FOAM APC air filters?

Do they flow more than the K&N? Ive seen tnms on cars in the magazines. I figure that if they do just change your oil more often.

Im wondering if a DIY cold air unit is as good as a quality SRI? I havent gone to the top of the throttle body yet but im guessing Id get better performance if i did vs. the airbox opening.

Foam filters SUCK. Thats what WeaponR intakes use - and thats why they suck. They just have em in mags for good looks, in real like use a good filter.
