Ok, I give up, maybe we should do a poll? Halltech Stinger, Trap, Vararam, all others... Advantages/Disadvantages? Fit/Finish? Real World Gains? Driveability? This is more complex then the cat-back exhaust issue... Geeze! I have a headache... All kidding aside, you guys are incredibly knowledgeble, but I think we have

Default Blackwing

I got my blackwing in May. It took all of 10 minutes to install. I am not a "Mechanic" by any means. You can feel the difference!! 18hp though - that I'm not sure of - but feel meater!!

My dad installed K&N on his 02'.
It was very painful, we had to cut the radiator cover etc...

I think they may have a new style that you do not have to do any of that to, but still it sucked.

The other nice thing about the Blackwing - I can always take it back out and replace the stock one that is now in a box.

Good luck !!!
