Default K&N Panel Filter? Or should I even waste my money???

I found a good deal ($29.98) on a K&N panelfilter that goes into my stock box. Is it really going to make that big of a difference over my WIX paper filter?

The stock airbox with silencer removed and a k&n flat panel is just as good as any so called "cold air" intake

Ebay, my total came out to be $28.99. I doubt I'll feel a difference, who knows.

Thats pretty good. They charge $58 at the local autozone. Actually, the best way to get them is look for stock airboxes for 5.0's and see if people include K&N filters. I seen like 10 of them go for $15 bucks or less but I just never sat around to watch the auctions on them.

I found one that is like that, but I didn't see the K&N in the picture so I decided to pass. I'm really leery of how I shop on Ebay. But I did put my cold air intake up for sale on Ebay yesterday, ifanyone isinterested take alook at the link in my signature.

Because my Pro-M 75mm Bullet is really sensitive, it seems to run better with out it. I put the stock box back on and it runs great.
