    Haha, got it, thanks! Do you feel a little more torque compared to stock?

    I've been running K&N 57i since god knows when. Clean it every 10k miles or so. No issues.

    I am sure that you alredy have one put in, but, I just put in the aFe inmy 2004 R50. No real gains in power but throttle responce is better. The intake is mostly silent under 4000 RPM, but when I put my right foot down - the most pleasing growl from the intake! Love it!

    I have the MiniMania (Ultrik) intake which I believe has been discontinued, but I like it.
    It uses the stock box, but puts a smoother top on, gets rid of the resonator tube, and
    uses a larger diameter tube from the top of the radiator to the box, so it's a higher flow
    true cold-air intake. It uses the stock filter size in foam, and I alternate it with a K&N
    betwen cleanings.
