the title says "BEST".. why is that the best?

K&N is certainly well known in the CAI industry, but by no means would I consider it the best.

If you do not want to have to tune the car, then you will probably see the same gain no matter what brand you choose.. Granatelli makes one too.

Don't waste money on something you would consider re-doing later.

That being said, good luck.

63 Series Intake Kits are not legal for street use in some U.S. states.

You did see that So it must be street legal in your State. I went with this one from K&N

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...Prod=69-3522TP

The only thing I did not like about it was that you have to cut the end of the crank case breather hose off to install it to theK&N Intake tube. But I saved all the parts so I can reuse them if needed. I like mine and went with it because I'm a Chicken and keep reading posts about tunes gone bad on people and I can see that happening to me that’s just my kind of luck. So till I get all the things I will do to it done first I'll hold off for now.

Any CAI without a tune simply leans out the a/f ratio which will increase hp a little. The K&N was a nice set-up as I had one a few years ago. If you want real performance with your CAI you really should go with a kit that includes a tuner and tune. It will be more expensive but the benefits will be worth it.

this is pretty much a temporary thing. i know it'll cost more in the long run but that doesn't really matter to me.

I have the 63 series the only state it isn't legal in is California. I like it yea maybe its not the best CAI out there but you can tell a difference. I will be getting a tuner soon and I personally don't think its worth the extra 250 for another CAI since the difference won't be that huge
