I like the smooth pipe of the K&N over the bellows tube on the Wizaired box. Wizaired has a MUCH better box, but has the bellows tube. I bought the K&N and put a Lexan cover on it to help keep underhood air from being sucked in.
The Wizaired doesn't have a bellows tube. It uses a straight PVC pipe. You can see it inside the box itself. It is the white tube and it doesn't have any bends in it. It also has a heat shield that K&N is missing so the tube gets hot. The Wizaired is simply better than the K&N for performace designand cost. K&N looks better though.

Rob - Doesn't Bambi have a Thrasher CAI or at least had one of those on MyMonte? I thought she hated it and went with something else.

I don't know of anyone else that has this brand or at least brags about it.

The Wizaired I looked at had a bellows tube. Looked like the factory tube, and that's the ONLY reason I went with the K&N. I'm wondering what I seen, cuz those were the only two I really considered. My K&N does have a heat shield and a cover, but it's not insulated.

My bad. I meant a heat shield around the intake tube so the tube doesn't get hot.

I have also never scene the cover to the K&N though in 3 years. THAT is nice and changes my opinion of them a bit because I've heard people saying that it didn't seal to the hood properly. They must have released a new version.

How long ago did you get yours?

How did you attach the Lexan cover to the box? And where did you get the cover?
