Guys your thoughts, I want to either buy the filter today or the entire intake system.

Thanks.

Default I have an ITG drop in filter

for peace of mind. I don't think it does anything, but at least I changed it!

Unless are completely re-doing the intake to pull in cold air, then it is a waste of money.

IS ITG better than K&N?

Default I can't really say

They are both panel filters.

The characteristics of the air flow of these things still aren't very good. Conical with the venturi shape is the way to go.

I think panel filters are really for peace of mind that you modded it. Only one I would consider at this point is the S-Flo, but even then I'm skeptical.

Both are waste of money. You'll likely lose power, zero benefit at best.
