Can I simply get two K+N filters and a set of intake piping, remove my stock intake and fashion an intake system?

Or do the filters need mounting hardware? What to do with the two smaller tubes that run to the airbox? (one from y-pipe, one from ?)

Any downsides as compared to Apexi or Blitz intakes, for example?

If you want a budget intake, consider modifying your stock airbox.

"It is questionable how accurate the original source of data is, as HKS are proven to sell more induction kits than any one of the others featured in the test, and yet there induction kit rates as the worst kit in the test. This suggests that either HKS rely upon their brand name to sell their 'poorly' manufactured air filters, or that the original Japanese test was nothing more than a PR stunt to promote the lesser known equipment. HKS and Blitz continue to be the best selling induction kits in the UK, and are used by Middlehursts, Hiteq and Abbey Motorsport as their first choice when the induction kit modification is carried out. "

Test is full of crap...

 

Excellent info, thanks guys.

But my real question is if I can fabricate a reasonable intake system from two K&N filters and an intake pipe set (like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2468355365)? Or is there more required? What of the other hoses that go to the stock airbox?

Seems like it would be significantly cheaper than Apexi yet offer reasonable performance.

Does K&N offer a complete intake system?

I did the whole thing for around $100. Thats with hard pipes and a heat shield.
