[Shotimes] K&N Air Filter

[Thomas]

I want to do it for performance, the engine it self takes care of looks. I
just didnt want to spend more money for a cone filter if it wasnt going to
be worth it. I have a GEN III in its original form no upgrades, so ithought
to add some little extras to push up the HP. Is there any cheap performance
upgrades i can do? As you can see i dont know alot about the mechanical end
of the SHO, but learning. Thanks
