At least they say "Tuning and Calibration is necessary after the installation." because this thing probably skews the fuel trims a lot.

I have a K&N as well ..... I was just posting for others to see since i havent seen it here before. The fact that it looks like a bad haircut would tell me all I need to know ..... but then again who am i to judge ....it might make 50whp for all i know...... maybe 60 if it comes with a sticker.

knock off of the Injen for the LNF.... just like they tried knocking off the Injen for the LSJ, haha.

Look, they even tried to copy Injen's MR Technology with the step down by the MAF sensor.
