k&n vs induction kits

[LilCe98]

Ok i'm in the market for a new intake, but I was wondering besides the cost what the biggest difference between a K&N Filter + MAF adapter and an "intake induction kit". Is there that much performance difference between the two to justify the cost difference? :shrug: I've searched both old forums and this one and couldn't really find an answer. If anyone can help me out i'll appreciate it.

I guess the BOMZ on ebay (after you replace the crappy air filter with a K&N), KKM kit, i guess anything that replaces the Air inlet pipe

id say the only difference is the intake pipe. that replaces the black rubber one. a new one is not needed but many people replace it for looks. mine gave me more flexibility of installation. every car is different though.

CAI kit!:drool:i think that one is on ProMotiontuning.com! Switch the filter with a K&N!

so is it only looks or is there a big performance difference?

mosty for looks. your not going to feel any gains, at the most 1hp but i dout that

Depends on the intake: for example SPmotorsports is jet-hot coated. wich deflects most of the heat.... but an ebay intake is mostly for looks, i personally think that the ebay intake tubes flow better than the accordian rubber stock intake... but as for the filters... cheap filters are most times made of cheap material and dont flow as much air as a K&N (or any other name brand) im most cases.

so my advice would be buy the ebay intake, but fork out the extra cash for a good air filter
