K&N FIPK Question. Who here has the K&N FIPK system on their car. I was lookin at one the other day at Auto Zone and was thinking abut getting one. Would anyone here recommend getting one? If so how much HP does it usually add. In Camaro preformance magazine it said it added 15 horsepower, if that is true im going out to get one tommorow.

I have it....you'll gain as much as any other intake lid-type deal. Some think it works better then a lid @ highway speeds. I dunno, I've never run a lid on this car. Definitely helps tho.
Go with the lid. Some have said that the FIPK tends to soak up hot air. The lid gets air from the bottom and the front of the car. With the lid you can also use the SSRA for even more hp.

Well I have FIPK and it does add more horses (with SLP or SS hood). Not only does it look better, it seals perfectly, unlike many lids, and it comes with bellows (both) so that helps airflow also, also it has an audio factor where you actually hear the motor sucking air kinda like a mini supercharger.
Also I hooked my 2 NOS lines in the front plate and the visual effect is awsome.
I had a lid before BTW.

I payed a about 250 bucks for mine. One thing that I really like about the FIPK is that the front and back of the filter is finished off in REAL carbon fiber; not like the simulated CF that some lids are made of.
