Do you mean is there a difference between cone filters and a k&n panel filter?

A cone filter would be prone to heatsoke due to it be exposed which would mean you engine would be slightly less responsive, probably not enough to notice but evey little helps.

IMO the best option would be to de restrict your airbox and get the panel filter. If its the deeper noise your after then drill some holes in the airbox before the air filter.

Hope this helps
