I have UNI PODS . Due to their cylindrical shape , there is a slight clearance issue on the frame , the K&N's have a tapered shape that will fix that . Lots of stuff here about the flow rate over UNI V. K&N . IMHO the differences are negligible. UNI's are less noticeable , they are black and have a chrome end cap . Both are very good filters and can be cleaned .
