Default Please help me regarding intake or filters.....

I want to let my engine be able to breathe a bit easier. Not really worried too much about hp gains. Just want more air to enter and longer life for my engine.... Should I just get a K&N filter, a blackwing, or a cold air intake like vararam or vortech rammer? thanks

I don't thinkyou will prolong engine life with a filter change.

To gain power with the simplest install and price, the BW. We have a few of them at $175, shipped in the continental US.:)

Get a cold air kit for the best perfomance....ie...VR or Vortex.

If you are not worried about HP gains then stick with the stock airbox & filter. It filters well.
