there has been a big argument about whats better on this topic and whats the best price. i got totally shot down for some appraent reason cause i bought the cougar fipk kit and adpoted it into the contour perfect fit by the way. i spent 250 bucks for the kit and everyone was jumping down my back saying it was a waste of money. i dunno about you but in the k&n fipk kit you get 2 filters one for the intake itself and one for iac an intake tube and a well put together heat sheild. but if you want to save some money and put a waste can in for a heat sheid thats all up to you all i know is i sure as hell don't want a waste can under my hood. plus another good thing about the kit is that it comes with a c.a.r.b sticker so that the intake passes emissions.
