K&N's look like a good buy, still leaning towards the STILLEN Generation 2 they look great and very accessible...anyone have feedback on these for noise and power gain? yes I have look though the forums but finding most posts about the G3's and the G2's post are a year++ old....

^^^ Best bang for the buck, and no clear evidence of significant (or any!) greater gains for the pod filter set ups, which are substantially more expensive.

Curse you guys...lol jk..I am really now leaning towards the K&N and HPS more and more I read about them it sounds more like what I was going after when I posted this....+1

Last question is installing them, looks really straight forward...for someone that doesn't really do this type of stuff would you say this is pretty easy to install?

The K&N panel filters take less than 5 minutes. The HPS tubes are a little more of a PITA, but definitely something you can do on your own. Even if you ask a shop to do it, they shouldn't charge too much for the install as there's not much to it other than wrestling with the tubes themselves.
