Cold air intake - BBK 1712 or K&N 57-2511

Hello!!

I have a '95 GT and would like to get advise. I want to change my stock air cleaner by one cold air intake like BBK or K&N.
The BBK 1712 is very interesting. The kit comes with the air filter, all brackets, etc. It also came with the intake tube. However it is all chrome and think it does not match that much with the engine, since it is all black.
The K&N 57-2511 kit includes the air filter and all brackets and it is all black, which match better with the engine color. However it does not come with the air tube, you must use the engine stock tube.
I understand that basicaly both would behave very close and the difference is only cosmetic. Both manufacturers say that you will release 8~15HPs.
Anyway I would like to read your opinion.

Thank you,

You won't feel a difference but it does help with other mods and fuel mileage. It also helps that you can clean them rather than buy a new one all the time. I'd say k&n. They are proven and have a great warranty. The tubing is never worth it unless you are simply doing it to relocate your filter lower in the bumper or ram air ect.
