I was home from work today with strained neck so I had a lot time on the internet. A lot of time on the internet makes me want to buy things. So I am now wait on a package from Z1. I ordered a 25 row oil cooler, post MAF pipes, HKS hybrid drop in filters, and an oil change kit with Red Line oil and Nismo oil filter. I also bought an electric smoker for any BBQ lovers.

Sound like a good day at the Srenity household!

Hmm,interesting! I know a number of people have had a discussion about HKS, K&N or OEM without any real conclusion. In for impressions.

What color post MAFs did you go with?

I just got Black to keep it stockish looking. I was thinking about red but black won out. As for the filter discussion I read a few posts and nothing was able to convince me that either is a better option so I went with the HKS because it is a dry filter and the price was better.

iirc on NAGTROC a few years ago someone posted filtration and flow characterisitics of all the major filters. HKS was very poor for filtration, K&N was extremely good at filtering and air flow, AEM dry filters flowed and filtered very well, almost as good as K&N but as they got dirty their performance plummeted while K&N's held steady longer.

Personally, I run the K&N drop ins but I don't reoil, every 15-20K I just toss them and buy new ones.

Those sound some effective pain killer for a strained neck. LOL

And help you take off some weight from the wallet.

BTW, when is the BBQ?

Tuesday....cooking for all my guys at work. Hope you like it hot though. I grew up in the Southwest so everything has chili when I cook. I am going to be smoking Habenero Honey BBQ ribs. Hot, sweet and smokey not much better than that.
