For those with JoeZ Intake...
Since it retains the stock airbox, is there any difference in sound?
Also, would it be possible to put a cone filter on the JoeZ tube, remove the stock airbox, and create some sort of heat barrier/shield. I like the concept of the K&N, but I do not want a "Greasy" filter messing up my car.

I have had zero issues with my K&N intake...unless you consider that awesome sound to be a problem.

+1 I have had only bad luck with K&N product over the years. I will never purchase another intake from them or a drop in filter for that matter.

Keep the stock airbox, use a drop in if you feel you need to. The Joe Z gives you a nice increase in engine note at a lower rpm then stock. It sounds great mated up with an after-market exhaust. And it sounds really great on those cool, non-humid days which I am finally getting to experience in FL! Luv it!

I have the Joez intake and exhaust and I think the combination works well together. I am very happy with the sound and the performance.
I currently have the K&N CAI. I think it sounds more aggressive than the joe-z. I am verry happy with it, and also got it super cheap from autoanything. I am talking to a friend of mine who does some tig welding. He asked me If I wanted an exhaust and intake. He would put a pipe down near the front bumper. He said I may have to cut a hole to allow the pipe to go through. He is also going to fab me an exhaust. I will let you know how it goes, he went to SEMA so will be back soon.
