It looks complete except for the air filter. I will probably be picking up one of these this weekend because my buddy is giving me one for free. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Check if it comes with the conical K&N... I don't see it in the picture. The scoop makes a great vacuum for leaves and dirt but you can just run the airbox without the hose and scoop. The large conical filter has a larger area and flows better than the panel size filter.

Best way to get one is 'free', otherwise Crap IMO, read the reviews on them.

yeah i dont like these, they look cheap. I dunno if they work, IMO it looks stupid under the hood and under the car. But hey, if you like it, thats all that matters, i definetly wouldnt pay full price for it.

I have a used Kenne Bell with the filter for sale. The scoop is dammaged, but workable and it needs a new 5" hose, but it should work fine.

I just saw a picture of a new kit and the scoop makes a wide rectangular opening. Mine looks like the lower portion of the scoop was ground away, just leaving the top that the hose secures to. I don't know how much that would hurt the ram effect, but it probably would not pick up leaves as much.

just make sure you dont drive through any puddles.. ive heard of people that have had big problems with water on that kit
