K&N Oil Filter
well today was oil changin day for me..and i bought the high mileage oil for a little bit more money, and i purchased the k&n oil filter, which was a tad more 
was the filter worth the extra 10$? i know it says all that crap on the side, but realistically.. hit me up.

There is no real way to make an oil filter for performance, I don't think you can really make it flow more, without taking out the filtering aspect. That is my opinion so I may be wrong.

The first oil change I did in my car I used a fram, the next I used a K&N. The K&Ns seem to give you slightly higher oil pressure, at least it did for me. I now always use K&N. (Which is alot cause I change my oil monthly)

I personally can't see how an oil filter could be worth an extra 10 bucks, but that is strictly opinion based on no fact other than the thickness of my wallet.
I remember the thread and link about oil filters from a month or two ago. No more Fram for me. I have to cruise all the way out to Fleet Farm instead of the local WalMart to get my filters now, but it'* worth the extra time.
