    Spectre doen't make vehicle specific CAIs, so I'm pretty sure he's asking about filters...

    For a filter, it's personal preference. The Spectre filters are one time use whereas the K&N filters are guaranteed I think it's a million miles with proper cleaning.

    Wizaired is the best looking...

    Most people use Spectre, because they hear horror stories about messing up MAFs with the K&N oil...

    I've always run a 9" K&N cone on my cars, and wouldn't go any other way. They have a 1million mile warranty, and as long as you dont drench then filter with the oil, then it'll last you that long.

    Its pretty much 6 one, half a dozen the other. Take your pic. Just slap on either a coupler to the TB, then to the filter, or just stick the filter right on the throttle body.

    Nope. All it does is measure your Intake Air Temperature...hence having it close to the filter, so the IAT's are as close to what they really are post filter.

    It wont drop mileage. And if you go from a stock airbox to the open cone, you'll gain some mileage actually.
