i have the K&N and i love it, you wont really feel any horsepower gains, if anything youll notice improved gas milage. all the air filter does is make you car breather better.

Get the cheaper one of the two, but $ for $, I would go K&N.

yup K&N if the prices are similar. I got the Steeda one though cause my tuner offered it to me with a discount for buying so many other things at the same time.

Out of those two, I would go with the BBK. You won't have a noticable increase in horsepower or in gas mileage but when you start to do other mods it will be worth it.
