I kind of want to get the S&B because it looks like it might be the same as the FRPP. My only reservation is that I haven't heard *anything* on this board about it. Everyone talks about the K&N, C&L, JLT, etc. Why doesn't anyone have the S&B? I mean, it has to be pretty decent if FRPP is using it....?

Thanks for the info.

Personally given the two choices I'd lean towards the S&B mostly because I don't think K&N did a very good engineering job on their CAI. After all how much would it have cost them to provide a direct connection to allow you to simply reconnect the crankcase breather hose rather than replace it or cut it?

Read through this thread...

People speculate that the FRPP CAI is made by S&B.

Here is a pic of the S&B intake...

You'll notice that the S&B CAI looks exactly like the FRPP CAI.

But oh well, like I said, it's too late for me now...I just went with the mainstream and got the K&N. $216 (shipped) is not bad for a tuneless CAI. I also feel better getting one that many other people have had experience with.
