BULL$HIT !!!
No it's not the same thing, it may look similar, but then again, chimps kinda look like us but are way different

K&N was one of the first companies to invent this type of product, the they never really improved on it.

CAI is one of the best intakes for our platform, this is not an opinion, it is documented, scientific, Dyno-proven fact.

Ted Jannetty posted a thread a long ways back that documented most of the major brand intakes, and Dyno tested all of them. Search for it and see, ask around all the old heads on C5 will tell you, CAI= good! Vararam= good, Rotifab=good! K&N = Garbage, and a possible RWHP loss due to poor design on this platform.

Best exhaust sound is going to come from cutouts. It literally cannot get any better, unless you inverted a shorty header and cut a hole in the hood like on those old rat rods.

I would get a separate clutch reservoir if you have a manual, $40
Ported throttle body swap for faster throttle response $150
CAI $3-400
Long tube headers with hi flow cats- $700-1K
Good tune- $300-600 depending on where you go

Lol do some research, you can get way better then corsa. I did mine and couldn't be happier. What k&n is to air intakes the corsa is to exhausts (not impressive)

Better then Corsa? How, sound? Sound is subjective and Corsa is certainly not for everyone but no exhaust it . Fit and build quality, there is not a better aftermarket exhaust on then market then Corsa. Power, minimal just as all others. So I'm really curious what you're trying to say?

Funniest post I've read in a while comparing K&N to Corsa, lmao!

QTECs (electric cutouts) $400
