K&N vs Takeda intake

"the drop ins are about $100 bucks + tubes $127.00= $227"
K&N intake is around about 280~300 in average. so instead of spending $227 for it, isn't it better just getting a legit intake???

i can tell you i have felt the oem air boxes after having the ac on and they were pretty hot.so i can imagine how much hot air the k&n typhoons would be sucking in with the ac on or being held in traffic.now if you dont have to run the ac and be held in traffic,then the oem air boxes will stay cool to the touch.i would love to have the k&n typhoons as i think they look great.i allso like to run the ac when its 95+ out.which means heat soak and this engine needs all the cool air it can get.i might get them and run them in the winter time only though lol
