The stock air box works pretty good with a k&n filter

If you must use the C&l I would stick with that to avoid any issues.

JLT makes awesome CAI's, but like 93lxdm78 said - CAI's + C&L MAFs normally = idleing issues. The stock airbox is fine - just make sure he gets rid of the air silencer and puts in a K&N air filter.
