Like you said, it's your opinion.

Yeah, it looks more OEM and a lot less cheesy...plus the K&N seems unable to do a very good job of keeping the unwanted hot air out of their CAI

The K&N was cheaper?

When I was pricing them it was much higher than the Lingenfelter. And maybe I looked at poor installation pics of the K&N, but from what I saw the K&N was no where close to the Lingenfelter when it came to sealing off the engine heat; sloppy gaps everywhere.

I have the Volant. Mine wasn't drilled to mount when it came in, barely misses (but does miss) the PS pulley, oh and the best part made no addl horsepower on the dyno. Looks good though. My two cents may save your 300 bucks. Another guy on this forum had a K/N dropin and ended up with 5 more HP than me after tune. Roughly 5k miles on both cars, both m6, his 05, mine 06.
