I'd get a lid and a Holley filter, it was less than the K&N when I bought mine and just as good.

I first got the K+N for the stock air box. Noticed nada.
Then got an SLP lid and K+N ..............Noticable
Then I got the K+N FIPKit and..............Watch out, plus it sounds like it wants to suck small kids off the street with it!!

this subject is just like commenting about LT headers. THey all make about the same amount of HP/TQ, but some buy stainless and others buy regular steel. The same goes for lids and K&N's FIPK. What I like about the K&N FIPK is that it completely changes the appearance of the engine bay and that the filter element is nicely trimmed in real carbon fiber. Just buy whatever you like best. Here are some pics to help you decide.
