i'm pretty sure jwt uses a k&n filter, either way, buy the jwt. i have the stillen. it's nice, but not worth the extra cash. in fact, it's basically the same piece. i'm not sure if the jwt comes with a bracket to support the air intake though, so you might wanna ask about that...

same noise and same size. i've seen other people with jwt intakes, i'm pretty sure it came with a k&n filter. just ask someone who's bought one (preferably recently, in case they did switch filters) and see if they got a k&n filter. if you're just wanting a cone intake, you should just buy a budget maf adaptor and a cheap filter

the jwt is a k&n air filter. Not made out of paper. Same exact one as stillen. It does come with a bracket to hold it up. stillens bracket looks better but the jwt works fine.

They are the same, they even use the same cleaning oil.
