Hi,

I want to change my stock air filter with a K&N one but I have two options so I was wondering which one is better:

The first one is a direct fit K&N from:

The second one is conical with adapter from:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=38634&item=7988891487

Is there any difference between the two in terms of performance. The second one is a bit more expensive. I also would like to know whether it is difficult to install the second one as it is not direct fit; I have a 99 Eclipse GS OZ Edition, would it be difficult for a non-mechanic to install it or I need to consult someone?

I was also wondering whether it is worth it to get a K&N air filter or a cold air intake and how difficult would installation be? What tools would I need? Does the cold air intake increases my gas milege, only performance or just is better for the engine?

Thank you.

Ya when I had my Spyder I got 30-35mpg no matter city or highway or both. And that was running rich due to a bad o2 sensor. I got better gas mileage modified then I did stock.
