There's a second K&N kit for the V6 listed on their site now. This one is polished aluminum rather than plastic, and overall looks similar to AEM's piece (with the exception that like their plastic kit, this one also requires that you cut the connector off the car's crankcase vent hose. AEM's has the proper fitting to just snap it on the same as the factory setup.)

D'oh! That wasn't there earlier! They must have just added that info. So... the new intake has slightly less of a gain than the old one. Well... I guess I'll keep looking out for the right intake.
