Greetings everyone: I'm new to posting to the forum, but have been reading along for the past few months; I just picked up 1 of the 166 "McViper's" last week with about 34,000 miles and it appears to be in very good condition. I will continue to search the archives for answers to some of my many questions, but bear with me if I ask some basic questions in the beginning. I will post some pics in the next couple of days. I picked up a factory service manual off of E-Bay, so I have some good info readily available, however I'm sure I'll be looking for some real world expertise as well. The first question I have is what is the general consensus on which K&N Air Filter is the best set-up to go with:
1. Keep the stock airbox set-up and just install K&N's in place of the factory filters (about $44 each including shipping on E-Bay).
2. Cone style filters that mount directly to the throttle bodies or air tubes.
3. I saw a complete air-box replacement set-up on E-Bay for $337 which I can't seem to locate at the moment, but I'm not sure where the air breather tube(s) from the driver's side valve cover would go to, or if it would just be vented to the atmosphere.
4. Any other options available from Vendor's advertising on this site.
Thanks in advance for the help, Chris.
