Default Intake Showdown

i need to replace my current air filter and i thought why not upgrade. here are my options, rechargable K&N drop in, or ebay intake w/ K&N filter.

the drop in is around $45 and the short ram w/K&N is $55.

The short ram does add quite a bit of noise. I recently put my stock airbox back in and I can't believe how much quieter the car is.

I have a CAI and the sound is not that horrible aslong as you dont press on the gas too hard. Smooth and slow acceleration and you will barely notice it.
