Why is everybody so harsh on the K&N air box cover? It looks better than the Nintendo one we currently have.

cause its #1 un-necessary and #2 looks cheap. When I get mine, if anyone wishes to purchase the K&N cover, I will discuss terms with them for it. I just want to make SURE that I dont need it before I sell it, but I'll post it here when I do decide to get rid of it

Does the cover enhance the performance?

I believe that the kit has good value in regard to performance enhancement. I'm not sure if the cover enhances the performance. From an engineering perspective, K&N can keep this piece (unless it can be proved as an integral part of the airflow system, but I don't think so) and bring down the price of the kit a little.

The appearance of the stock cover never really bothered me, but for those who do not like it, perhaps a paint job with high heat paint and a K&N sticker (if it could withstand the heat) would be more cost effective than a redundant part of the K&N kit.

I ordered this kit for 215.00 I wonder how much of the 9 HP gain is from the filter only and then with the tube? I am guessing with the Stage 1 kit the # may be a bit higher...Al
