Airraid is good stuff I used to run them on my sand rail and jeep,works just like a K&N and doesnt cost as much,well they are 10.00 less than a K&N. I am currently trying out the ACCEL Kool Blue filter which is the same idea and only cost 19.99 and it seems to work as well and I am getting a few more mpg. So yeah they may have ripped off K&N but if it works just as well and is cheaper why not try it? AND where you been Airraid has been around for years?

It's like coke a cola, it was the first "cola" but others took the idea and made MT DEW and I thank god everyday !

I cut my lid along with de-screening my maf. Hard to tell if element did anything noticeable. But I'm sure it didn't hurt.
