Hi.

I'm definately soon will get an intake. I want a K&N definately and don't ask me why. This has been discussed in other forums as well as here.

FIPK2 is plastic tube. 77-series is metal.
FIPK2 is approx. $220. 77-series is approx. $300.
FIPK2 is Black. 77-series is Gun Metal Grey or Polished Finishes.

Other than those stats, what are the advantages & disadvantages of getting either one??? I mean is one of the two mendrel bent, because I know mandrel bent tubing is superior to crushed or crinkled bends when talking about exhaust.

Thanks Ya'll.

Saw this on k&N site, looks liek the fipk get more hp then the 77 series.

I say that I have a Gen1.5, as I have the kit, but not a tube. I use my stock tube, and then an adapter to mount the filter and junk.

I've never really noticed anything other than the noise [which I like], and I think it might run better, I dont know.

It's all in the head, mostly.

 

so are a lot of other things for me...

dont wanna be a party pooper but ur not going to see and benefiet from either...

so if u want some underhood bling, go for the 77...

if ur ol fashion go for the fipk plastic jobber...

wonder how much of a difference the plastic V. metal tube will make for heat disappeation

 

yeah looks like the fipk makes about 6.8 HP and the 77 series makes 5.32 HP,

FIPK makes more power for less money I don't really care about shiny, it wont be shiny after a trip to wharton.

 

Cheaper & more power?? FIPK2, here I come!

Thanks ya'll.

has anyone gotten one off of ebay? im just wondering because i see some extremely good prices on there and i just wonder if they are the real thing, never opened and the complete product.

 

It depends on the seller, i got min off ebay. Just ask them if it is new in box.

 

same here ahhhh

 

if on ebay look at sellers feedback and look for NIB (New In Box) or ask the seller that same question.
