 performance, and may have also upgraded the air filter to a K&S filter 
system.  In this case you should know about the maintenace required with this 
type of filter.  You have to clean and oil the K&S filters.  They are good 
filters in that they increase airflow somewhat, but not as much as going to 
the P-Flo type mod.   >>

1. It's K&N, not K&S. Don't give advice unless you know what you're talking 
about.
2. The only required maintenance is cleaning and re-oiling every 50,000 miles
3. P-Flo (aka P-Slo) isn't worth a damn:
a.) They're open element filters, thus suck hot air from the engine 
compartment - not an issue with the modified airbox, as you have 75%+ of your 
original airbox shielding the air flow.
b.) They fall off - not an issue with the modified airbox
c.) They're stupidly expensive (vs. ~$49 for the K&N drop-in filter) - not an 
issue with the modified airbox.

The only Neuspeed (Nospeed) product I'll ever have is their front stress bar.
