    They all serve the same purpose, the only difference is the quality. The K & N filter that comes with their CAI kit is most likely top notch and the biggest difference between the two kits. The extra 100.00 may be the fact that the K&N comes with a heat shield or a box. Other then that, I wouldn't be too concerned. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    I've had my AirAid since 2005 and the filter is the same one that came with my kit. Invest in a K&N Filter Cleaner Kit.

    because a tb spacer is a paper weight. It serves no purpose on modern engines.
