.. to replace my stock airbox + K & N. I just finished my entire exhaust (minus headers; too expensive) and I want to open up my intake. Is this a good deal and is it the recommended filter (RU-3530 I believe)? Sorry, I know this topic has been exhausted but I finally can purcahse things online now and I don't want to get ripped off. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is the RU-3530. It will open your car up more on the top end compared to the stock airbox. Just make sure to make a heatsheild for hot days. Buy your filter from AJ-USA as seem to be cheaper than everyone else. I bought my MAF adapter from SP Motorsports.

I totally forgot to include the link to the auction I was bidding on in ebay. Ehh, it doesn't really matter now as I won the item and it is already shipped. Anyway, it was a K & N Conical air filter + MAF adapted for $50 shipped. Hopefully that was a good buy. I'm such a dolt.

Sounds like a good deal, i've seen those on there before. Is the K&N the ru-3530??

Hopefully it doesn't look like that... That wouldn't be good...
