from what i found doing some google research, the HKS has really really poor filtration ability compared to the K&N. I have the K&N filters, but If i were to do it again, I'd go for the AFE dry type filters, better filtration than both and just as much power increase, one guy said he got 12 rwhp from them and the HPS intake tubes.

looks like the 5-R is oiled, and the Pro Dry is well, dry!
