K&N or CAI

Is there a significant difference between just swapping out the stock air filter with a K&N opposed to replacing the entire air induction system with a Cold Air Intake? Let me know what you think, thanks.

If you just want the perf. then get the k&n. If you want some looks to go along with the perf. then spend the extra cash for the cai.

Stay Away From The CAI's. They will mess up your A/F ratio if it has the bend before the MAF. I had one and it was hooked up correctly but it threw my A/F ratio off.

Just get either the JLT or the K&N FIPK.
