I just installed my K&N Typhoon CAI a few days ago. took about an hr, but well worth it. I got it for $230 on Amazon.com which they claim is 50% the retail price.

Better go double check your facts; Any time you make a change to the way your engine intakes air or fuel it's "recommended" to get a tune to obtrain maximum benefit from that change. The real answer is one brand may provide better performance over the other by the design (maximum air flow), and whether or not it sucks in cooler air. Why do you think some brands use a housing aournd their filter in an attempt to keep the warmer temp air away from the filter? And, why do you think people are using a scoop to force air from the front of the vehicle "grille" into the CAI housing? With the Fastlane, it's designed from the get go to gather air from inside the grille area of the vehicle, thus no housing necessary, no scoop necessary, no cutting, no drilling, no fuss. In your analogy; That's like saying changing ride height race springs won't require a wheel alignment if you go with brand A vs brand B. Illogical. If any vendor tells you you don't need a tune, they're basically saying don't expect to get much results from using their product, because the benfit is so minimal it would be a waste of time to get a tune.

Sometimes, being devils advocate allows one to see things from someone else's perspective. When it comes to "performance" (not asthetics), I don't buy what will make my vehicle look cooler than the next guys I purchase what will give me the best performance for the money. So, from a strictly performance perspective the Fastlane will provide double digit increases in HP, and you won't have to spend extra $ on a scoop or the installation. Doesn't matter to me man, I don't make a living in thie auto industry, but I can share the knowledge I've obtained from spending thousands of dollars on moding my vehicle to over 1000hp. But, you're absolutley correct maybe the OP just wants to bolt on something he thinks is cool, looks cool and wants to cut and drill holes in the bumper.
