I'm certainly not accusing you of posting something that isn't true. I think that for the relativley low cost, the fact that it's an entirely bolt-on mod, and the gains you saw, make it well worth the money. Others seem to disagree.
Out of curiosity, what were your before/after 0-60 times?

Because there is no EVIDENCE it is worth it and I have better uses for $200.

Ford4 posted that he saw an improved 0-60 time with his programmer. In my book, that's evidence. Nobody is making you spend your money on an intake, but please don't bash those of us who have chosen to get one, and say that we're basically idiots for doing so, just becasue you have a different opinion.

I have had very good personal experience with a K&N filter on my 4.0L. It doesn't make a difference stock, but after porting, a cam, and throttle body, it makes a noticable difference.

Wow only someone in Canada would do that. That's a perfect example of how you can't answer the "Is it worth it?" question. To some, cutting holes in their hood and fenders is worth it. It did make me laugh for a while, so I would say it WAS worth it.

Boggin, I think that is referred to as a 'Cold Rain Intake', not a 'Cold Air Intake'

I can't believe this thread is still going. Lets end it with this....

Is a drop in K&N filter worth it? No.
