Default Cone Filters Green/K&N etc?

is there any real difference between the cone filter makes?
i know there is noise wise, but what about performance/efficiency?

PiperX are renowned for being the nosiest, and green the quietest but do any filter better than another?

also, the oil they use, is it all the same?
reason i ask is i bought a can of K&N oil and a mate needs some for his green filter, is it the same stuff but just pink?

Actually, thats probably true.

BTW, I think our K+N's are louder than edds piperx.

THERE YOU GO, that was nearly useful, although probably untrue.
