There is a lot more to intake design than it may seem on the surface. K&N has a lot of brand recognition but they are not the best systems (not the worst either though).

The search function works quite well. I'd suggest you use it. Then come back and tell us if you think they are all created equal.

OH, K&N is NOT considered one of the top names.

I wish you'd change your tune..I'm about to have one for sale. I could use a ringing endorsement

(don't hate it was on the car when I bought it)
