I'm stuck right now figuring which air filter i should get?

Either K&N or Ractive.

Ractive is like cheaper but i can get the k&N for like 20 bucks less.


what do you guys think or have any feedback on these products?

Seriously though. K&N no question about it. Don't skimp out just because it's a bit more expensive.

I saw a picture of a Ractive heat shield.
It looks like what I want for my ram air intake.

So - who sells them?
The last time I searched, I got nowhere.
