Um there is a difference the "sponge filter" sucks more air in but it can hydrolock your engine faster and easier. The sponge which is foam is a better filter it allows more flow

Isn't that an oxymoron? If something filters better, it will catch more particles. As it catches more particals, it will have less flow through it. I guess if you clean it more often it would be good, but that becomes time consuming.

It isn't a sponge it is a foam well don't allow your filter to get submerged in water.
