For those too lazy to read 
The article was okay, basically it just said that all the filters were about the same, but they made it sound like a performance filter was better than a paper one.

I guess this one is for Will or Paulnold (or anyone else with the ADTR intake)
Since I'll be getting my intake this week, how much of a "knock-off" is the cone filter. I know it'* not a K&N but is it also oiled like the K&N, and also washable? I'm not too worried since I know the performance will be better and it looks good. But the next Bonne I get will most likely be a Series 2 and I plan on keeping the intake for as long as I own a Bonne, which may very well be the rest of my life, so I hope it has a "1,000,000 mile warranty" like the K&N.
How easy would it be to paint the blue tip of the filter? The only way would be to mask off the rest of the filter? It probably doesn't come off in any way, right? You'll have to excuse this question, I don't have it yet. I'll probably paint it red or gold to keep my color scheme unified. Thanks.

It would probably cost more, but I bet people would be happier if they knew it was a k&n. I personally dont care as long as it is the same type, I dont think that it will make much of a difference. This sounds like a good situation for a dyno test...
