I know this topic has been beatin to death but I've narrowed my choices down to either the K&N intake or C&L intake with X-cal 2, both with custom tunes from Brenspeed. Will I see more gains with one over the other? How difficult to install? Any other input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

 

I have the C & L and X-cal2 from Breenspeed, yes it is a little more expensive than K & N. Installation is a breeze and all factory connections work on the C & L. Plus it looks great under the hood.

 

C&L Hands Down.

 

No doubt about it C&L. Costs more but from what I've heard worth it. After I put mine on this weekend I'll let you know how easy or difficult it was for me with a TBS.

 

I have the K&N but I have the X-Cal2 from BamaChips, K&N install was very very easy, detailed and def worth the money. I've always trusted K&N products and they've never let me down yet! I'm very pleased with the AirCharger, I've felt both the C&L and the K&N (i drove another members car with the C&L) and to tell you the truth they both feel the same between the two of them, both with 93 performance tunes, unless dyno numbers prove wrong. So like I said, im very pleased with the K&N at the price.

 

Question about the K&N, its not 50 state smog legal yet right? So youd have to switch it out when it comes inspection time right?

 

Is your car noticeably louder after installing the K&N?

 

O yes, when I threw the K&N on, it made my Flowmaster's growl even louder and it sounds sweet!! :sweet:

 

Oh yes that's for sure. I think it makes the stock exhaust sound just right. You won't be disappointed.

 

You say "all factory connections work on the C&L"....what doesn't work on the K&N?
