Anyone used or have exp.with a K&N FIPK setup? Any good. Or do you have another recommendation on a good intake.....Thanks in advance.....GTRagtop

For what it's worth, Id skip the FIPK, and just put a filter in, I think youd save like $60, and I dont think there is a real worthwhile gain with the FIPK. Otherwise, you could do a cold air kit from like WMS racing, or MAC. Those kits come with a KN I think, and you'll see more of a gain than with the FIPK.

Your best bet is to stick with a drop in K&N. CAI do very little if not hurt performance on our cars. I've seen two cars on the dyno lose power using the MAC set up.

I may have to try that out next testand tune night. Put my stock airbox back on and see the difference with the MAC. I personally think my car gained more on top end with it, but I will check just to be sure.

I have a MAC cold air.
Car felt a little slower, but seemed to rev quicker, if that makes any sense?
Oh yeah, it was noticably harder on gas.
Save the money and get gears or something.

Thanks to all who replied! I went out and got the K&N drop in. Works great! As for gears....based on another post I decided to go with 4:10's. Thanks again....GTRagtop
