man has a point
the oem box witha good quality filter is better than any K+NM because the air is sheilded from the heat of the engine.
If you want a filter the itg filters of the shop are good but you will have to make a heat sheild for it so it does not pull in hot air from the engine bay.

Agreed. OEM with a panel is what you want...
