*As for who was asking about the air filtering for the ITB's, they make individual socks for each one. Many online stores that sell autocross parts offer them.
Hey Ninja, How do you like the Kinetix manifold? Is it the SSV?

i personally would be interested in drop in filters.

-K&N vs: AMSOIL vs: APEXi
There are tons of tests done with them already. No point.

I honestly don't feel there will be a big difference between the different panel filters. probably not worth the time and money to test them.

Really? A filter is a filter. Plain and simple.

Really? You mean that there is no difference between oil filters and oilless? Thats just the obvious differences.

Power wise no. You would be lucky to see a 2 hp difference and it can be attributed to dyno variance.
