[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064741546, member: 2429"] #1 : if you haven't bought the K&N yet, you might want to consider those maintenance free options like Apexi or if it's a drop in, those other brands like Works or something. The only thing I don't like about K&N is the oiling part. Apexi supposedly has the best air flow but K&N had the best filtration.

Doesn't have to be the best filter because my engine oil does a good job too plus I do regular maintenance on my TB and intake with those spray cleaners anyway. #2 : Yeah, ARB and bushes are a good 1st step that won't compromise your ride comfort.
