My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

but is it true that neither will perform as well as the original paper filder in terms of preventing the contaminants from entering your engine? I read some comments on

No, I think that the major advantage of paper is that they are adequate on all fronts and inexpensive. I think the oiled cotton and synthetic medias all filter as well or better tho'.

Foam does a crappier filtration job, however. Flows well, tho'.
