haha well i have heard a lot of in stock issues with the header, and i am hoping that the sound will be ok with the stock cat-back. also some minor install issues with the header also. but the other two parts i am not worried about.

That is the biggest problem I've found. Most of the intakes above are for a 2.2, but they fit the 2.4. The K&N is the only one that was specifically engineered for the 2.4. Hopefully, we'll start seeing some more 2.4 specific intakes in the near future. That isn't saying that the other intakes aren't as good, quite the opposite, many people have reported great gains with a 2.2 engineered intake

The oil is what stops fine debris from getting through the filter! lol. Your unoiled filter is running at about 20% efficiency without the oil......K&N clearly explains not to use the filters unoiled in their pamphlets that come in the box. Oh, and it only messes up sensors if the filter is over oiled......which is completely user error.

I've got the K&N Typhoon and it's just sick. I bought mine at muscleexhaust.com for around 250. Most other places that i've looked at sell them for over 300 so def check that out

For anyone who is tight on a budget Spectre lets you build your own CAI with all the parts to let you place the cone filter anywhere you want. I have one and it works great. All parts together it cost me about 115 dollars at Pep Boys.

I just installed my K&N Typhoon SRI today. (purchased from TTR--fast shipping!)
Holy ****, it sounds and feels awesome. None of the youtube videos do it justice. It makes the engine sound sooooo nice. Intake on 2.4 FTW! Megan exhaust comes next.

In reality it probably only adds 5-10 hp. If you do a quick search on the k&n intake for the 2.4L you'll quite a few. I wonder if anyone has ever put their car on a dyno after putting just the intake on.

Well, with the K&N filter you'll only have to clean it and re-oil it every now and then. With the GMPP filter, being as its a cotton filter, you'll have to replace the entire filter every now and then. So overall, the K&N filter could end up saving you money in the long haul.
