When did K&N come out with that nifty little thing? I thought my Racing Beat cannister and filter was hot ****, and I still do. Filter was only $15 and it flows better than the K&N and recharge is only $5! ha!

Jesus Christ! The X Stream lid is $75 alone!

Racing Beat still holds the win for me.

That is nice, just paint the underside aluminum. I have a can of aluminum color/reflection engine enamel for small little details like that.

And get a Racing Beat filter instead. Flows like paper, protects like foam, and rechargable like K&N. The filter is 1/4 that of a K&N and the recharge kit is 1/2 that of K&N. Plus they sound nifty.

That is nice. You must have access to a CNC machine? It's a shame though - all that work and a FRAM filter. Tsk tsk.

heres my K&N setup, 4 inch ducting and 5.5 inch cone filter, plan on doing some headlight work to get the air to it even more. You can really here is suck when you mat it, and its a noticable difference. Any K&N i think is worth it its just what setup you want to make, i have one in my truck and 7 and in my fiancee's car and its a difference.

Ain't nothing wrong with fram air filters. It's the oil filters that are a death sentence.

I've got a $5 Fram Air Cleaner...
I'm thinking about getting a K&N Filter and a tornado device. Do you think the tornado would help any?
