'99 TL -- Cheap Pilot CAI or K&N Filter?

I have no $$$, but I need an air filter. I was just going to pop in a K&N Filter, but I can get a CAI from a company called Pilot for under $80.

I wish I could get an AEM V2, but alas, it's not in the cards for right now.

So, between the Pilot PM613 CAI or the K&N air filter, which would you choose?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Definitely go with K&N. Cheap filters...suck. You could go with cheap ebay cai + replace filter with K&N and be pretty set...just don't use a crappy filter.

neither?

Get the pilot CAI now and throw a K&N cone on there. Just keep in mind that you're going to spend either 250+ for the V2 new, when in reality it's just a piece of pipe with a filter on it.

Id pass on the K&N now if you're really looking to save money, cause 2 months down the road you're just going to replace the K&N with an intake of some sort.

just pony up an extra appx. 50 bucks and get a K&N cone with the pilot CAI

Wow, I didn't think about getting a K&N cone filter on the pilot CAI. Sounds like the best budget combo for me.

Thanks guys!
