very informative. thank you for doing all this as it has been very helpful in making my choice.
On a side note would it be safe to say that adding a K&N drop in with out the Z tube will actually lower my power output or does the Z tube take the blame for that?
GF just bought me a K&N drop in filter for christmas and i dont wanna lower the power on my car lol. i know i wont gain next to nothing with just a panel filter anyway but i figured at least this way i wont have to buy paper filters any more.
any input?

I think K&N is just like so many other companies out there today, they built their name long ago b/c other filter companies used the cheapest materials they could. Now K&N is riding the riding the wave they built. Meanwhile other companies out there have caught up if not surpassed K&N in quality filters. Now K&N just has the money to market the hell out of their products. I have a R2C intake (too bad they did not participate), the filter material on my R2C is way better than the K&N drop in that I did have, also the R2C is a simple blow out the filter with no soaps, water, or oils to put back into the filter media. I have always thought that any filter that uses oil in the filter media actually decreases the flow of air. But again this is all just my opinion.

Yeah that sucks. I feel like I gained hp especially in the upper rpm ranges. The R2C does make the G sound a lot better. I wonder why they wouldn't provide you with anything.
