K&N Intake, Red or blue?
Okay after some careful research i have decided to go with the K&N intake (unless i get a deal locally for a fujita). This is for several reasons:

1. Cheaper than injen (for practically same design)
2. Comes with a "hydroshield"
3. Can be blue or red

So my question is, what color blue or red should i go with? I have an optima red top battery, and also some blue 2 gauge wire for my system. So i'm not sure what will look best in our engine bay. I guess you can't go wrong with either, so the question is better worded, Which color would you go with?

from my understandimg the colored K&N typhoons were discontinued and polished is the only option left. I enjoy the look and sound of my K&N daily. The K&N DOES come w/ a hydrosheild, Injen does not unless that changed recently.

k&n comes with a dry-charger filter like the injen hydroshield.

the hydroshield is an extra charge.

Red will give you slightly more power but the blue makes the car faster from a stand still either way both colors are a good choice.

went with the red ordered off of tsxparts.com (sponsor wholehyper) so hopefully it's in stock and i can put it in soon. Ultimately thought red would look better in our engine bay and red top battery. Also ordered the fake cusco strut bar that people have said works well.

EDIT: Red is out of stock

K&N is only available in polish unless you find an older one in stock somewhere.

pretty sure the K&N pipe diameter is slightly smaller than the injen's.
