Before I buy a K & N Filter for my baby, I thought I'd check with you guys. I've had them before on other cars, but since this is not just any car...I thought I would solicit your opinions. I ran into a guy yesterday at the gas station who said his S2000 stopped bogging down after his K & N installation. Thanks. I'm not interested in going the CAI route.

If you are not going the CAI route, the K&N filter wouldn't help much. I would just stay with the stock one, the K&N style filters tend to let in more dirt which isn't good for the logevity of the engine.

I have a K&N filter, gutted airbox and a funnel ram air to the airbox. From stock to this is night and day. I even had an intake and went back to stock because of all the heatsoak here in Florida. Open your airbox, take out the elbow, cut down the divider, plug up the hole on the right side inside the airbox, tighten your throttle cable, get a K&N filter and it will feel like 40 more horsepower!

I think the only advantage of the K&N is that you will never have to replace it.

Yeah we have just got the JR Filters in stock, and will be running it with a Spoon CAI.

The website's online shop isn't ready yet but if you need any help please let me know.
