It's funny to me when "car guys" don't already know this. I've known this since I was 12, I'm almost 40 now. (yikes).
Wix used to have a counter display for auto parts stores that had one of their filters cut open next to a Fram cut open.
Of course I've already passed this knowledge onto my son. So he won't be drinking any orange kool-aid

those look sick, but 99 bucks? then I'm guessing you change out the inner cartrage? but even still that's 15 bucks. Seems a little overkill for a street car
I was using Fram for awhile, but recently switched over to Bosch. Not sure how much better they are, but they are priced similarly

I normally use the K&N filters as well. I like that they have the hex nut type thing on the bottom which helps with my motorcycle and it also has a couple holes for safety wire (required for racing on a track).

(sorry if that didn't make sense, I'm really light headed from giving blood, not eating, and throwing up like crazy right after. It's been about 30 hours since Ive eaten.
