late edit:
sorry stiggy,, thought you were talking filter elements

is it a paper or foam element?

late edit 2;
it says removable washable,, but its a pre-filter?

Umm not sure actually, I would have to take it apart to know for sure but I think it's paper

Can you take some pics (both whole and close up) of the element?

It looks like this:
OTA - OVAL TRUMPET AIRBOX | Products | BMC AIR FILTERS

The air flow/pressure stuff in that blurb is rubbish.

As for the filter element, it does not bode well:

The air filter ... multi layer pre-oiled filtering material ... it is possible to regenerate the filter by washing and re-oil operation ....

I have seen other similar items which say they have a cotton filter...

I think I attached them..

That is just the usual cotton crap that all the "performance" filter companies sell. Don't use it if you want your engine to last...

What's so destructive about the oiled cotton filters?
