I'm a dumb new guy, so bear with me. I have been looking for an air intake and noticed that by pictures alone the Stillen and JWT versions look all but identical. Is there a difference, because the price delta is is $80!! Thanks in advance!

Stillen uses K&N while JWT uses a generic filter.

The K&N filter on the Stillen is BETTER quality than the generic JWT. The venturi piece is also a little different, so it makes a different sound. The Stillen one has a whistle at part throttle that I didn't hear in the very short time I heard the JWT.

If you live in a dusty area, I would recommend the Stillen because the K&N filter "seemed" to provide a better barrier against dirt.

im about to sell my JWT (waiting to recieve my stillen)... and if anyone wants, im selling it for $75 and i might provide free shipping (friends = good thing)

it only has 2000 miles on it, and the filter is still very clean and red. i dont have the original bracket or the installation sheet. but you can get both at courtesyparts.com (the installation picture is actually on their webpage)

i have an ooglie-version-bracket that WORKS.

if anyones interested, msg me. remeber, i wont be able to get this out for ~1 week.
