cold air intake

I have an 06 4.2l v6 and I was wondering if anyone else has used the K&N 63-series intake for the v6. Is it worth the money? Or is there a better air intake (limited selection I know) for the v6?

a 63 series??? is that the FIPK kit? for the money the extra 3 hp isnt worth it in my book. just build ur own like a bunch of ppl on here have done, or buy a K&N 77 series, much cheaper

I used to be a huge K&N buff, but after using Airaid I have to say that Id go with an Airaid system, but you do get pretty much the same power. i guess it comes down to preferance

I want a cold air intake, but the only place I can find one is a parts store and it's high as hell. I keep looking on ebay and there's never one for my truck. Anywhere I can get one that's not so high as Advance?

Go to the manufacturer's website, get the part #, then search Amazon.com
