I was reading up on cold are intakes and stuff… but wondered, is replacing my stock air filter with the $50.00 K&N worth it ???

you will probably gain a minimum of 45hp at the crank with a drop in k&n filter, those things are badass.

Nothing but \<3 for K&N here just for the simple fact you never have to replace it.

My K&N on my fenderwell is looking pretty rough in my GP as well. I am gonna make a Wizair style box to relocate it to.
