American Muscle has a nice kit for around $70 or so All CAI's pretty much do the same job and have similar results, other brands, your paying for the name, can't go wrong at AM for the price.

They are all pretty much the same
The K&N has maybe 15% better performance and costs 380% more dollars.
I bought this one, looks twice as good IMHO too.

I don't believe that the K&N would have any better performance on a stock engine. There is no reason to spend more on this than the $70 kit on AM.

Not worth the upcharge of 190 bucks!!

Stick with the AM one - and if you want, by a K&N filter to put on the end (but I think the one in the kit is just as good...)

K&N is not worth it. Period. There will be no advantages or gains over the cheap one. None.

Do yourself a favor and get the one from AM and save the extra $190 bucks and get a set of gears if you haven't already or save for a tuner
