GEt a Arizona Speed and Marine ..or Moroso or a FIPK&N.

They are all very good and actually do something. They all come with K&N filters too.

I don't know why these guys keep reccomending SLP. THey're the worst. Look wise they do look cool, but performance wise they don't do much, and they are very restrictive. THe to Filters squeezed together can cancel out much need airflow, plus filters are EXTREMELY difficult to change. Sold mine! It sucked very restrictive Got an AS&M Intake...AWSOME easy to change filtermore air in. SLP sucks don't waste your money.

It's not restrictive. I dont see how the two pipes that are strait through vs the one plastic piece that is also strait through is at a disadvantage. The filters: Yeah theres two (vs one on other brands) and they do touch at the base, but arn't squeezed in to tightly. It doesnt restrict any airflow. The filters are kind of a pia to get to but your not changing them every 3k miles. I remeber multiple posts saying most of the aftermarket filter kits yield about the same amount of HP. SLP does suck and does a great job of it.

Not restrictive, if you think so. There's more travel and allot more work for air to squeeze into two filters then flow down two seperate pipes to meet at the MAF than it is for one big 4-5 inch pipe sucking in straight air without the maze. Maybe you got the special edition or something but the little air filters were really close together...like almost smashing together like they were blocking off air. Big difference in Peroformance when switched to the AS&M intake, no air flow maze...just straight Oxygen comming in!
