Why, just to try something new ? The Honker is one of the best out there that gives you true cold air. I would keep it but it's your decision.

I'm curious, too.
Why are you thinking of going that way?

Once again timing is everything. I just installed mine, after waiting 4 weeks to get it, and love it. Had I seen this a month ago I'd would be willing to take it off your hands.

K&N or Callaway? Hands down Callaway. IMHO the very BEST CAI on the market! Yes, I have one and love it.

This is a waste of your time, effort, energy and money.

You should only switch if you wish to get rid of one of the best (if not the best) CAI on the market in exchange for what I believe is an inferior product.

I have a Callaway CAI and love it. Great product, works well, fit and finish is awesome. Good luck with whatever you do.

I should also mention that when I lost the MAF screws I called Callaway and they sent me out replacements FREE and shipped them out that same day. That is what I call customer service!

thats why i put it up for discussion.. thanks!! i have had the car dyno tuned. b&b bullets,callaway,10mm wires,bosch plugs,thotttle body ported. and i gained +37hp and almost equal tourque.. but, they had a hard time tuning the MAF. the air comming in wasnt stable enough... he got it close but not optimal. thats why i was curious how all of you felt...it has the z55 options.... p.s. to those who are wanting to swap your sway bars on your car for bigger ones try urethane bushings first.. it made a difference on my car..

has any of you had your car tuned with the honker? did you ask if the tune went well? if you are going to, ask them after they do the tune if they had problems with the MAF because of the callway? you might be surprised of the answer....
