      K&N -vs- cold air intake

      Just out of curiosity how many of you all are using a K&n filter as opposed to a cold air intake??? What seems to work well with these cars??? Thanks.

      Both will work perfectly fine. The cold air intake is more prone to hydrolock and will be louder than a K&N drop in.

      I switch between the 2 depending on the season. In the summer I run the cold air, but in the winter and spring I use the K&N so i dont suck up as much (or run the risk of) crap and water

      I ask because i've purchased knock off intakes in the past for other cars only to discover that the bends were incorrect.

      I just took the stock filter off my SRT-4 and jammed it onto the end of the intake tube lol.

      Re: K&N -vs- cold air intake

      I bought that same intake, the one in the eBay auction. It really does fit like a glove, and I've been really happy with it. There's even a hole drilled in the pipe for the sensor. It was a damn tight squeeze, but the sensor sits in there nicely and the grommet keeps it sealed up tight. I should specify, I actually bought the shorter kit, where the filter is still inside the engine compartment. My plan is to special order that extension piece, so come spring and summer, I can relocate the filter to the wheel area.
