K&N Filter vs. A CAI
before people start being smart about it I Know the difference lol. But getting my exhaust put on tomarrow and now want a little under the hood upgrade to get me by until I save my money back up again I have bills just like any other poor man in the country lol. What I am wondering is what would be a big difference from just using the K&N filter than using a CAI. Will I tell that much of a differnce on the 5.3L. Should I just save my money not get the filter and wait till I have enough for the CAI?. I put a K&N CAI on my g/f's 07 Eclipse GT 6speed with Mcphearson racing package and I must admit it really brought the thing to life. And from factory it already came with 270hp. So should I just get the filter for now then when I get enough money then get the CAI or don't even worry about it?

RE: K&N Filter vs. A CAI
I would wait and get the CAI. If you spend the $40 now and buy the K&N filter it will be no good when you buy the CAI, its not the same filter size. I work hard for my money too, so im all about saving it where I can. I wouldnt waste your money. Check out S&B intakes before you buy one, they make a great product for less money than K&N, and in my opinion I think its better. If you look back a page or two, theres a discussion in here on S&B intakes.

If you do plan on putting a CAI on then I would wait till you have the money. No sense in spending money on a filter to just trun around and replace it with a CAI. Before you buy a filter or a CAI you should check out this link: http://www.thetruthaboutfilters.com/. It provides real results, not only about the amount of air flow, but the amount of crap that can get through the filter.

just to let you know the cai does give you power at high rpms but takes away alot of your low end torque
