Default K&N, F Sport, AEM or HKS drop-in intake filter? (Specifically for the 200t)
Pretty simple question ... Anyone running either one and if so, yay or nay? Obviously not looking to break a dyno with this but I've run K&N's on past vehicles and have always been happy with them.

AND the list grows

F Sport - PTR03-53141-AA


K & N - 33-2452


AEM - 28-20452


HKS 70017-AT024

I've been trying to get an intake for my 200t. I also wanted a AEM or K&N but cant find crap for it. I called the dealer to check about the F Sport intake and they said to call back in June.

F Sport intake ins't available for the 200t yet.

This is one of the only intakes I've really seen for the 200t but I don't know about $139 for just a filter an adapter.

The factory plastic tube that runs in front of the engine seems pretty restrictive and if I was going full intake, I'd want that replaced ...

I've seen more restrictive intake tube but I'm sure having it a little bit bigger and round would help the flow. It's shaped weird because of how it's routed.

Just added them to list lol ... I'm thinking about buying all of them and then hooking up with one of my local dyno shops to get some pulls and really see which one is best!

You can't order them to be shipped in California for some reason? Im assuming it doesn't pass the emissions test.

Don't see why you couldn't get them in Cali ...

Stated on K&N's website ... Legal in all 50 States
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?prod=33-2452

AEM doesn't say legal in all 50 but it also doesn't say not approved for sale in Cali.
http://www.aemintakes.com/search/pro...?prod=28-20452

The complete F-Sport intake system is legal in all 50 States and this is the filter (PTR03-53141-AA) from it, so this is also legal in all 50 States.

HKS would be the only one that I would really question about being legal in Cali but it's just a drop-in filter so I really can't see how a drop-in filter wouldn't be legal ...
