I get the concept of it, like I'm not a complete retard when it comes to vehicles, but I want the best bang for the buck. When it comes to air intakes, what takes the cake? Is the Airraid intake system worth it for the increased amount of air it takes in, or would a drop in filter, and remove the airbox silencer I believe it's called, which costs I'm guessing a few bucks less, give not the same, but similar results?
Example:
Airraid cost $200 increase of 6 rear wheel horsepower - As stated in an ebay auction
K&N drop in cost $50 increase of ? horsepower
If the drop in adds 1.5 hp, then they both match up, and it all depends on what you want. But if the K&N were to free up an extra, for the sake of conversation, we'll say 4 ponies, then the Airraid wouldn't be worth it. On the other hand, if the drop-in gave very little or no extra hp, that wouldn't be worth it.
Anybody?
