DOn't most of the functional ram air setups use a 14" FABM type filter
anyway? I always thought that you HAD to have an open element setup
for ram air to be effective... maybe that's just me... I'm pretty sure you
can keep your K&N if you get ram Air docta' =)

OK. So it's agreed that ram air is better than 14X3 K&N. Although I think
my
island air fix (removed weatherseal on radiator support) helps a little, I'll
see what else I can do to cool off my intake air and still keep my K&N.
