More flow = less retriction = more air = more power = less debri filtered = maybe not as good for your motor.

Many filters look the same, but they actually have different plys, thicknesses, and filtering abilites. I went from a 2 ply AFe filter to a 6 ply S&B on my truck due to the desert environment I live in. Pick you poison, better filtering or better performance. That being said I wouldnt think twice about running a K&N or similar filter on my car unless I lived in a desert/sandy area.
