Anyone considering a K&N cold air intake system this seems to be a good price (although seller feedback rating is suspect).

(seller feedback rating is better on this one).
Hope it's not a repost.

I can recommend the second link. Got mine from there a few weeks ago and it came quickly.

Is $220 really a good price??? I didn't realize the K&N kit was that expensive. I'm more than happy with the JLT and it's only a little over $140. I've heard performance wise all the CAI's are identical. The only deciding factors between the different kits is going to be looks and price. Personally, I think the PHP kit was the best looking. It was also the most expensive and I don't think it is still made unfortunately.

This is the JLT intake, which can be ordered in body color (Definitely get this if you have a DTR, it looks great.) and has an impressive looking huge cone filter and 4" diameter tube. Comes with a weird heat shield thing and it can rub the hood liner. Cost: $140+

This is the K&N, which has a clean one piece look to it. It also has a very functional heat shield which seals to the hood. Uses a smaller cone filter, and the intake tube is just ruff plastic. Cost: $220+

i have the k&n (jlt didnt make a kit when i got mine), but if i had it to do all over again i would buy the jlt, the price difference doesnt justify k&n high price
