I say go with the generic only because I am lazy to clean it when it gets dirty, I prefer to R&R with a new filter.

it seems like you guys are leaning towards K/N. so i got appr. prices from a machine shop today and tentative pricing will be as follows.

SHORT RAMS
generic=125
k/n=145

plus shipping.

CONE AND ADAPTER ONLY
generic=65
k/n=85

plus shipping

these may fit all 5th gens. i will know soon enough. and if not i will be the adapter machined for those too.

dmbmaxima88,

it looks like the filter you are using is a generic filter. I have the exact same one sitting on my desk. This is what APC use for their intake.

Also, Rod Millen is selling Generic filter + pipe for 250 bucks USD! That thing gained 8hp on a IS300. So you see, generic filters aren't always bad!

there isn't a velocity stack, but i might look into k/n filters with a molded in velocity stack at one point. but they aren't totally generic adapters. i'm having them custom machined for a cleaner look.
