Airaid v. Downs
 

What, if anything are the differences between the Downs intake and the Airaid?

Recommendations?

It looks like these are my choices, as I don't want to wait on the PSP backlog.

The Airaid has a "wall" around it, and a big filter (I think).

I think the Airaid is better for a daily driver, because it will not get as dirty or wet, so if you are a little lazy and don't want to wash the K&N as much this is better for you.

The element protection is exactly why I just ordered a Airaid

Steve,

Did you buy locally, or order on-line?

You can order it from Roger right here at the online store.

I got mine through the online store, here.

Well, as of yesterday/ today, the down's filter is temporarily on back order. I don't know yet how long temporarily is, but it sucks for me.

Does the AirRaid from the store come with the box around it?

Daniel

which filter is better for performance, the airaid or the Downs?

As far as I can see ( I read alot if not all posts) nobody has done a controled comapro of any of the filters or the chips. I did not order from Sal so I can't give a comment on his products or delivery. I can say that my dealings were done expediently and professionaly. I did have a problem with hood clearance on my first Airaid but it was addressed. ( I was one of the first)
If there is no performance gain from any of them it's woth it for the noise!
