Better K&N Air Filter

[Flipz]

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:

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.

Learn to not mash the gas at every light. I have lots of mods, including but not listed a Garrett T3/T4 hybrid, header and fmic, and I average city/highway 28 mpg.

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.

Do you think the cone filter would even be worth it if you still have stock intake?
