IMHO - The *best* flowing intake money can buy is...

- Largest (non inverse cone) K&N filter you can fit
- Heat shield
Then for colder air (not true cold air...the cdw-27 MAF does not and will not ever like forced air, just will not work) you can run a dryer hose or something to supply cold air to the filter area where the stock fender snorkel would be (remove that too!).
Build your own with a combination of an adapter and a filter...pipe is optional. No currently available "intake kits" will include the best of all worlds.

Building your own intake setup will also cost a signifigant amount less.
MAF Adapter (3 1/2" some sites say 85/90mm actual is 88.9mm)
- SP and BAT sell them for $39
Biggest non inverse cone K&N you can fit
- Summitracing KNN-RU1785 (5" wide x 8 1/2" long..what I run) $37.39
If you buy what I suggest you spend $76.39.

And about the KKM...I started with a KKM and now only use the adapter!



I went this route before and ended up with an overoiled K&N filter that caused a lot of trouble for me. I know I can clean and re-oil, but that experience just ruined this option for me.
Thanks for the input though.




Just a heads up too....the KKM filter is also cleanable and re-oilable....there is a good size of after market filters that are like that now.....I have the KKM and i switched to K&N and i couldn;t be happier....what i have leared is to just spray enough oil to change the color of the filter sliglty....if it drips, i have to start all over again.


Good Luck.
