i used to run comptech foam filters with no problems and fram paper filter every now and then. - that was my preference of filters, spoon is just waiste of money.

Not really unless you mean both are box shapes and similar Main chamber size. Other than that they are different. OEM Has smaller piping leaving the Airbox to go into a 3rd order Resonator Box and then has a tube leaving that box up under the fender. Comptech has an Airbox with a larger circular tube and smoother transitions into the box and goes out to an Air Horn under the fender, Much less constricting design and Larger tubing.

Yes any filter that will fit an OEM Box will fit a Comptech Icebox (As far as Icebox for DC2's)
Spoon is a Nice filter but IMO overpriced when you can get a Comptech filter made by UNI for half the price but with the same amount of quality.

Like Mike M said, they have a lot of differences.
