i have looked at all the new fancy flomasters and stuff but nothing ever fits the 2nd gen runners. that was when i came across this one.

i need your help guys i have no idea if this brand is good or not? its an air intake, but on the site it says for offroad use? im confused. i dont offroad much.

it sounds good its by a company called "racing lab" and costs as much as the k&n intake that everyone says sucks and doesnt filter worth crap.

what do you think guys?

In my honest opinion, i wouldn't buy it. Hence the price and the "sketchy" ad that makes the intake look awesome; companies sure love consumers like us. If i were you i would do an ISR mod, a "Modified" air box, and a K&N drop in (you may go with paper filter if u want). It sounds great under WOT and costs considerably less than the aftermarket intake kit.

And i almost forgot: SEARCH

Feel free to use the K&N, i used it for 2 years without any problems, just don't over oil it and you'll be fine.

k&n drop in is just the normal filter that you pop in your airbox correct. im not used to all this jargon.

yes, it is a drop in replacement.

But I would recomend you go with an OEM filter, aftermarkets tend to let more dirt in.

I bet if you tried to measure the difference you get by changing out the air intake, you couldn't see the difference. I know tons of people here try to do something about it and claim the old system is all restrictive, but I don't believe that for a second. But that's just me. Use an OEM air filter and change it and/or clean it regularly and you'll be golden.

I use one of them fancy ones in the picture just different brand and made the thing my self from off the shelf arts at autozone like 50 bucks invested. I also put a ladys stocking from the dollar store (1 buck a pair)over the filter after using the k&n pink oil for my Harley and what dont get cought by the stocking is at the filter and I will say this. If you dont change the stocking about every oil change the thing gets so dirty it changes color but the k&n style filter on the inside is very clean and so far I have had this set up for almost 2 years and only needed to clean and wash the filter twice. No air restrictions either and the driveway I go up is about 1 mile of dirty dusty road.
