I run the K&N with my Superchips tuner. No problems, just have to take it easy on the oiling so that the MAF doesn't get a shot.

Yes the S&B and AF1s flow better, it's not to say it's not a bad air intake though.

I run a K&N with my Troyer tunes. It is a great intake, make sure you get the plastic tube though (like thumper said, for some reason the stainless one doesnt add much power at all).

It also has better coverage than the other intakes with a lifetime warranty and being 50 state and CARB legal.

Most popular intakes, at least from our customers...

1) AF1
2) K&N
3) Volant
4) S&B

I run an Airaid. It does the job fine. Ultimately, you will find that no matter what they advertise for horsepower & torque gains, you won't notice a difference. Even if it's dyno proven under optimal conditions, will you really feel an extra 5 or 10 horses? I believe that you will see the numbers on the dyno chart. I believe that it could be important for guys who are racing their sports cars. But I doubt that any of us regular daily pick-up drivers can actually "feel" 5 horses in day to day commuting. I don't even think those 5 or 10 horses will make a bit of difference if you're hauling heavy loads.

I disagree with this entire post.
