I would get a lid and stay with the stock air filter. But yes, it is 100% definitely worth getting. No doubt at all.

i dunno if you can feel it, but 313 rwhp with a lid and catback on an otherwise stock TA has to be worth something

I have the K&N and it can be a pain in the *** to make it seal/fit properly on my lid.
It will eventually work, but it takes alot of adjustment.
You have to fight with the extra gasket that the K&N comes with that raises the profile of the lid and makes it seat a little differently.
If I had to do it over again, i would avoid the hassle.

Lid and Catback are the first mods for nearly everybody. Get both of those knocked out.

do the FRA and a lid, and you will DEFINATELY feel a difference top end.

better throttle response is noticeable, but not MAJOR.

I just added the FTRA to my system, and that just topped it off.. I'm real happy.

do it!

Yeah man!!! a lid is the first thing you should do to your car. its not a huge difference but alittle notisable, i do have the k&n but just because i have the clear lid, so it looks nice when i pop the hood open, i also got the ssra scoop and that makes it just that much better.
