K&N is king. Most auto stores probably won't stock the size filter you need. Go to a performance shop and they can order one up for you.

Autozone usually stocks a couple cones. That'* where DrJay got his. Take your pipe in with you.

Brandon, go buy Chilton'* #28200. You won't have any problems. Buy the thermostat at an auto parts store. That'* usually your best bet Just ask for a 180° that will fit in the OEM 195° application. If they don't understand, go to another store.

You'll need that book to do the swap, or you'll have to hook up with driverjohn2005 in Bonney Lake.

Even if it is a little hard for you, you will be REALLY pleased with the results of the CAI.
