If you just want a drop in for the stock airbox, PM me. I bought the K&N drop in filter replacement, used it about 1500 miles and then went SC. If somebody wants to send me the cost to ship a slightly used one to them, its yours. My guess is its $10 or less to ship.

So, if K&N says so, it must be true? Considering the advantages of a CAI are found while the car is at speed, its amazing that there's a 10 hp gain at 6500 rpm. I'll just run my car at that rpm all the time...
I'm not saying a K&N filter doesn't have benefits, but power and mpg aren't two of them.
