the best filters will improve gas milage a lil bit and will add about 2-3 rwhp

they also last a lot longer, and do not need to be replaced, just cleaned and oiled

K&N is the best brand for this, i had one in my GT untill i replaced it with a steeda CAI

Don't waste your money on a full CAI they are 98% worthless (2% being looks)

Just add the K&N filter and remove or shorten the air silencer.

i disagree, the CAI is a key member in making air flow, once u redue exhaust and get a full upper intake, then the

full potential of the CAI will be realized


but it still has the bling aspect as well

A CAI looks good and sounds good but you will not feel any gains. The alonely way to see gains is on a dyno. I have a new K&N filter with about 100 miles on it for sale. The best thing to do is remove the silencer and cut the housing out around the filter that way you get look and sound.
