The tech took out my K&N drop-in & put in a stock filter. During the drive home, I did notice that the whistling sound that would often emanate from the passenger side of the car under low boost was no longer present. As a result, I'm now thinking maybe the K&N is useless. It never really fit right from the get-go, even after I made sure that it was correctly sealed within the enclosure, I always had doubts about fitment.

So....my three questions:
1) Anyone with similar mods as me running stock filter?
2) Any thoughts on what else to consider without needing to spend $180-250 for an Evo-Intake or S-Flo setup?
3) Who was the member a couple of months ago who posted his homebrew kit on AW, but had to delete?

Suggestions would be much appreciated. TIA.

.. the only thing that is needed is the hole(s) in the bottom of the airbox .

Thanks for the tip, AN. So it sounds like I need to check out the Darintake mod, yes?
