it doesn't matter that they can't afford it, it's still no good for the price. for 40 bucks, my intake is better than whatever K&N can come up with.

yes I have 4.5" fenderwall intake made from PVC and uses a S&B open top cone filter. Cost me like 60$ with paint and filter
Children.... don't make me turn this thread around...... An oil soaked filter can dirty up a MAF and screw with things = FACT Seen it first hand from other members of local car clubs. Oil need not be dripping off the filter. Is K&N a good CAI? I'll admit that there is lots of R&D done on it by the K&N people, and that's probably why they're so expensive. There are other intakes around that will cost you less and still have documentation of performance increases such as the Wizaird intake. As for the home made CAI or FWI, yes they improve performance and save you money. It all depends on what you're going for though. I personally wouldn't pay 150+ dollars more for a big name brand intake that has dyno proven results to say that maybe because of thousands of dollars in R&D and some pretty heat deflector to get me another 1 or 2 wheel horsepower over my home-made CAI or open cone. IF I were going to go pay for a CAI setup it would be the Wizaird.
also after oiling your filter, you will get oil on the maf. Wait a few days then pull the maf and use the maf spray to clean it. = )
^^^ Whatever tickles your pickle....lol
You could do what i did....

Simple and effective.
that corrugated tubing IS the restrictive part.
I wonder if my old GTO intake would work. Big 4" pipe and not a K&N filter. I would have to agree with the oil. It can get in to your intake and cause problems. I have seen it happen. Be careful if you are going to oil your filters.
