I have the stock box with K&N drop in, I also drilled and filed the stock grill openings blocking the inlet to the intake box cost $65.00 for the K&N and file.

For my ride doing this was worth every penny!

Although I prefer the AEM dry filter as opposed to the K&N.
Easy clean and reuse. Both good stuff.

Is the honeycomb grill really that restrictive? I do like that large intake but having to remove the bumper to do the install isn't something I'd like to mess with. Cutting and filing I think I can do well and fine.

Youd need a custom intake manifold to run a 87mm tb. Its waaaay bigger than the hole in the intake. Probably hurt pkwer lol

Airaid makes a replacement tube for the GT and ECO. No plans to do it for the V6 though.

So I will be revisiting this. Why? Because I will be deleting the PCV (keeps hot/oily air out of the plenum which DOES help performance) and a modular tube will clean up the engine bay (not so much for performance gains). I will be using smoothly bent 102mm I/C piping to replace the OE tube. The driver side breather will have a breather filter and the passenger side will be running to a catch can. Stay tuned!
