OK here's the deal. Yesterday I realized that my "K&N" drop-in filter is not a K&N at all, it's just a Fram filter. I bought the filter in January, so taking it back probably wouldn't have any benefit. Someone must have switched the filters at the store, causing me to spend 50 bucks on a regular Fram filter. So now I am kinda worried about my MAF sensor because a Fram filter is not meant to be oiled. I don't want my MAF sensor to get ruined. I want to buy an Injen CAI and a Budget Y. I have $170 right now, which is enough to get the Y-pipe. However, I could get another $50 from the bank which would cover the cost of the Injen CAI, and would stop my worrying about my MAF sensor. If I had the Injen, I would just throw away that damn Fram filter, and stop worrying.
Before this unfortunate discovery, I was planning to get the Y pipe first because it seems to make the most sense to speed up the exhaust flow out of the engine before pushing more air in w/ an aftermarket intake.
Please give me your suggestions. Which one should I get? I would like to order one of them tonight or tomorrow.

 

I say go for the most "bang for the buck".
Get the Y and buy a new air filter.
Then save up and buy the Injen.

Just what i'd do!

 

Yeah i would get the Budget Y-pipe and then buy a real K&N filter until you get your Injen just to put your mind at ease.

 

get the y and make a 20 dollah homemade intake...then buy the injen later...

 

y-pipe and then get a cheap oem filter to put in for now
