Default Should i replace my stock air filter?

I was doing some research today online and i saw many people who own Audi's have replaced there stock paper air filter with K&N. It's only 40 bucks which is not bad, it claims that it gives better gas mileage is that true? Does it really make the engine sound better?? I think i'm going to pick one up sooner or later what do you guys think?

Get the K&N.... I have put them in all of my cars and never had a problem. Besides you save money in the long run on replacing air filters.

A bit of difference of opinions here I see. So which is it? K&N good or bad?
