I hate that bc it needs to be sucking cold air, and it's kinda hard to get that under the hood with just a heat shield.. This is kn's "box" right here.
And on amazon the price difference is not much at all. Like $50. But if you buy their cold air ram scoop that goes under the front bumper, that costs like 130

You won't go wrong with either K&N or Volant. Don't kill yourself over it. Both are good intakes. I have a K&N on mine and love it.

I haven't yet since I bought it, but when the warmer weather comes I am gonna buy the cleaning kit and clean my filter. Which I believe involves oiling it when your done.

Yes you do. Your supposed to do it every few thousand miles. I try to do it every oil change. You can get a kn recharger kit or other cleaners from autozone, pep boys, etc.. Your kit should come with cleaner, and oil.
