I will take this chance to appologise for the earlyer political message.
I was out of line, sorry.

Now, for the foam filter, I have a KN filter on my bike.
To be honnest I couldn't tell if it made any difference to the bikes
power, it is a bit louder than the original one, but the major
improvement is on the long run to the money you spent, since you don't
ever have to change it, just clean it up and you are ready.
As far as I kow you don't have to change jets if you don't want to, it
work perfectly, but some people claim it will boost a little bit your
bikes performance if you also change jets.
