K+N filters do not filter the air as well as OEM either,which is another down side. That's not my opinion,that's test results posted somewhere on this forum years ago. VARARAM will get you a little gain at speed. Again though,my experience with that is that a lot of dirt and other stuff get up in there and remain trapped. It's a pain to take it apart to get at the filter and clean it a lot. Do headers if you want real gains. At the end of the day,it cost more but you get what you pay for!
Where would you cut the holes in the shroud for this mod?

Default Thank you!

Chuck CoW documented this a decade ago. And before you ask, no a front license plate does not adversely affect the VaraRam.

Thank you!

YES, the VARARAM is the BEST and it works.

If you're wanting the absolute best all around performance (before or) after installing your mods,

My CoW BOOSTER! and tune package is impossible to beat.

Air intake and exhaust will open the motor up a bit, but they will never make what they are advertised to make

without a good tune and some datalogging to make it perfect.

Pound for pound, this package is the LEAST MONEY for the MOST PERFORMANCE you can get at any price.

Call any time.

I cut mine on both sides of the filters.Note that with this mod or Vararam,more dirt will enter the engine bay.lol.
