Default BBK or K&N



<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=black size=3>My question regards the comparison of K&amp;N filters to BBK CAI. I currently have a K&amp;N unit that replaces the air box with a mighty cone. Is the BBK CAI better or worse(?), or should I just look for an intake pipe to the throttle body that would make air transfer more linear. Thanksfor your advice.</FONT></P>

I prefer K&amp;N, but i'm biased because i run a K&amp;N mighty cone as well...i know a friend who got a BBK CAI, and we both have 87 5.0 LXs, with the same mods, except for the airfilter...i found that my air filter has lasted much longer and it doesn't clog as easily...so i'd go with K&amp;N.

I have a 94 with the same K&N system as you and alot of people have been telling me to change it to a in fender system. So I'm going to make my own system and use my K&N. I'll tell you how it goes

My car has no foglights in the space where they're supposed to go. Instead, the right light hole has been cut-out, and the air intake hose goes from there, through the fender, and to the airbox with a high-flow filter. Haven't really played with it much yet, more to follow.
