I can't prove it, but it seems like the K&N box filter works better than a stock box filter. For power that is...but it is soooo small, you won't notice.

actually, it does resemble a cai. a cai with a paper filter. cuz theres a hose that runs from the air box down into the wheel well.

Personally I am very torn between which one I am going to purchase. (CAI or SRI) On one hand I like the fact with the SRI if the need arises to change back to stock it will be a cinch and accessing the filter is a breeze. But if I am aiming at max h/p - torque gains I would think a CAI is the way to go. The only downside I see to this is having to take off the entire bumper just to install or change the filter after installation. I'm leaning towards an injen CAI since I have always loved their products but as of yet I still can't decide! I live in FL so any cooler air going into the engine is always a gd thing here
