there is NO performance gain between different intakes...those high priced companies only sdvantage is the ability to get it in a certain color...i bought an intake on ebay...a no-name intake, and bought a K&N filter, and i guarantee that it flows just as well as any other brand...keep in mind..all it is, is a few pieces of mandrel bent pipe, with a filter,...the filter is the only different..if you have a cheap filter, you may not have the performance that a K&N does, but i would suggest doing what i did...i boguht mine 2+ years ago, and have had no problems yet.

unfortunately, the oil of the K&N filter does contaminate the airflow sensor. Why not just remove the big intake resonator from under the left front fender ??????

i have only ever used K&N, and never have i had an issue with the K&N oil effecting any of the air intake temp, or air flow sensors...if youre running into that issue, you have WAY TOO much oil on the filter.

we have seen too many problems with it, even a little oil will over time cause the sensor to fail.

on cars with MAF not MAP sensors.
BTW, you want more bang of the engine, then to start of with, fill with high octane fuel. The HP rating is done with 98 ron fuel.

98 ron (sold everywhere) = +-93 aki (sold in north america)
MON + RON divided by 2 = AKI
we only have unleaded fuel here in n-america.
