Yes, the one that comes with the AEM CAI is a K&N. Not sure of what size it is tho.

I haven't compared them, but it is supposedly the smaller K&N because it is tough to fit in the cavity of the car, but my cavity looked as if I could place an even larger filter in it.

I read in a post somewhere that K&N used to make the filters for the AEM CAI but now AEM itself manufactures the filter.
