Fair enough

With that said, I think you can do better than K&N. At least for filter elements.

There's nothing too special about the plumbing. It's a tube going from filter to intake that holds the MAF.

The considerations I'd place on importance are:
- The box itself. Where it pulls air from, whether it be from outside air, or from the hot engine bay is going to make a difference.
- Whether or not you can use the maf turbulence screen
- Availability of parts


Figure out which airbox you want to use, determine what sort of dimensions you have to work with, then call around and see who makes a filter element that meets your criteria.

This is worth a read

Volant. Great sound and with a BB tune, your ride will be impressive.

I like the throaty growling sound to be honest

You get that from losing the mufflers that the stock intake tube has to quiet the intake sound. An Airaid MIT will get you this and a couple HP for 1/3 the cost. Although K&N owns AEM, the DryFlow filter has impressed me with it's filtration performance.

After installing my MIT, I was satisfied without getting a louder exhaust because it sounded so good. This is coming from vehicles that have exhaust notes that buzz your balls when under load.
