I found it online for $230 through jegs, seems to be the cheapest i can find it. It comes to alittle over $250 with shipping and i been thinking of getting it. So what all does the K&N hookup replace from the stock air system?k&n filters have been around for years. they do everything they claim. i"ve run k&n for 10 years in many cars and trucks. cost up front isn't bad anymore but i think it would be the best thing you buy for your truckand if you don't believe me.... they do have a money back garrentee

I prefer to test things for myself, i appreciate the article but I like to try things on my own. I've always wanted K&N and I feel that I will be getting much more air flow this way. Next step is to replace the cracked exhaust manifold and hopefully reduce some of that loss back pressure now.You might find this interesting from Ford Muscle Magazine. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2002/03...ir/index2.shtml
They do a lot of testiong to see what works and what doesn't :-"

If you looked at the other articles there, they said KN was definately an improvement, just that particular method of installing a KN made no difference. You definately need the KN where it won't be sucking in hot engine compartment air or crap from the road.I prefer to test things for myself, i appreciate the article but I like to try things on my own.

I was thinking of asking my local auto parts store if they can order the intake system. And i was wondering just how much of an improvement the drop in would make, since it'd still be covered in that monsterous housing system.if you really want it, just go to an auto parts store and check. they should have it, or at least be able to order it. i know advance carriers a large stock of K&N's, they should have at least just the filter

Haha that really is ghetto fab. I know I wouldn't be spraying it red, but what is the point of the exhaust pipes? Just for looks or does it actually serve a purpose. Do you need to remove the air box and all that breather element s**t below does this replace everything just like the real FIPK or is it just the element breather?I did a ghetto fab K&N FIPK on my 88. I did notice approx a mile increase in MPG. Also better throttle response. If that is all i got, plus a reusable filter it is worth it. Cost me approx 60 bucks to make the kit myself.
Filter is RF-1012. approx 50 bucks. Then i took 3" exhaust pipe. cut it to two 6" pieces. Fabbed up a braket to hold it down to the inner fender well. sprayed the exhaust pipe with red rustoleum and bam...K&N FIPK.
