I read that it's more cost effective to just get a K&N drop in over the intake? What are your thoughts on that?

You might find that the N1 becomes too loud once you add a header.

You also need to remember CARB and emissions inspections as well. The OEM header has a catalytic converter in it, and I don't know of any aftermarket headers that are CARB-compliant.
I'm in California so i'm unsure of the emissions as I've only lived here for 2 years. I hope i don't find them to be too loud. Don't get me wrong i like loud but i don't want to overdue it and paint a target on me for the police. That is why i'm staying away from Borla UEL and looking at MXP UEL and overpipe combo.
