K&N Air Filter
So I hear that getting a K&N airfilter is an easy mod that's worth the while. I'm going to Murray's today to get a headlight bulb and oil+filter. Should I get a K&N air filter as well?
If so, should I just replace the filter in my stock intake, or replace the whole box with a cone filter?
I know this is supposed to be easy, but dare I ask, is there a DIY guide anywhere for this?
Thanks for helping me out.

the cone comes with the intake system, but if you're doing the airfilter, you only change the airfilter.

I dynoed my car with stock and then K&N drop in filter.
guess how much power K&N made over stock paper filter with 20K miles on it?
less than 1 hp.
this is on a 2000 M Coupe 3.2L Inline 6 engine. I'd say save your money.

woah are you serious? $15 every 6K? that's really short. i don't have to change the filter in the M Coupe until 30K and it's only $10.
also the wash kit is $10-13no? so that adds up as well.
