a k&n is risky cuz its an oiled filter, and that oil could get on your maf and mess with things and throw cel's

Best bet is to replace it with a dry flow air filter go with AEM or Injen, but you never should have bought a GMPP intake, there **** save yourself down the line a buy a Injen intake

Its an offset filter so make sure you get the right kind. Also make sure its a dry filter as mentioned above. I priced mine and its around $30.00 or so from the dealer sooooooo........

The lip you clamp your filter on is pretty flexible plastic.

I suggest you get an offset on, because mine was fine than all of the sudden HUGE vacuum and CELs like my car was a CEL machine.
