depends, if the k and n filter is a cone filter that fits, you can use it, but if its not, then it doesnt work. You use the one that comes with the ebay intake.

the k&n may flow a lil better but chances are the stock filter size wont fit the cai, it would b worth the investment to put a k&n if u can get one that fits, they have cai's on ebay with a k&n filter already and they arent made my k&n

Some of the ebay intakes come with a K & N (brown) filter and some come with a Holley (blue). They all flow about the same and are reusable.

i didnt know that the other came with a holley filter, i just thought it was some random cotton filter
yea either is fine then but i would get the one with the k&n just over preference
