Don't waste your time and $$$ if you are going to get a different intake system down the road.

The K&N comes pre-oiled and should be good for ca. 20,000-40,000 miles before it needs cleaning. If you do opt for the K&N don't apply too much of the oil to the filter when you clean and re-oil: it may contaminate your Mass Air Flow sensor resulting in fluctuating/surging idle speeds (approx. 1500-2500 rpm).

Just my $0.02 worth...
