Default Name This Filter?

I am just curious because I was told my car had a K&N drop in when I bought it but this does not look like a K&N to me. The element is similar in design to a K&N but the filter is orange and not coated with oil

That was definitely my first thought but there is no branding on the filter and most the fram filters I have seen are normally pretty cheesy

It looks like an Airaid filter to me. Also Fram took a run at some performance filters a few years back when Auto Zone was fighting with K&N. They were made by K&N and Fram sold them to Auto Zone as a brand that I can't remember, but it died on the vine.

I think it's made by Bran and called Airpig, as opposed to Fram Airhog...sorry, it's a dull night
