Default Filter difference

Alright guys im on the market for a new filter, actually im going to buy one today.

i was thinking ractive cause its just a filter but then im like K&N must be a better quality, so now im confused.

Is ther actually a noticble difference considering the K&N is like twice the price?

Help a Honda-Tech member out, i need a filter now that summer is here!!!!

K&N filters are usually better than filters made my companies like reactive. The K&N filter not only flow better, but some low quality filter (from ebay especially) are known for coming apart in pieces and being sucked into the intake. IMO, its worth the extra $10 or $20 to get the better K&N filter.
