SuperTech is fine - however it only filters down to .20 microns (I think). Mobil1, K&N and the other premium (including Fram's X2) filter smaller particles. That being said, look at the filter tests at http://bobistheoilguy.com. Some good info about flow (that I wouldn'tr even have thought...

I already used search, thanks...saw some basic info but didn't see anything if anyone had been successful and nothing about kayaks. Already did homework on yakima (thule has nothing for our cars) - cost about $300 to get those puppies aboard.

Any tips for how to put two one-person kayaks on this car?

Wires I went Sparkco - decent for ther money. All I have on my car (mod-wise) is Sparkco wires, NGK Iridium IX plugs (if you consider that a mod) and a grounding kit - the car is impossibly quiet during idling...

NGK Iridum IX. I put them in at 25,000 - seems very decent.

Peanut butter is the best - but if you are in a hurry - 3M Wax Remover. Than make sure you protect that plastic with Mother's Back to Black or similar.

I think I used a 19mm closed-ended wrench to remove the plug. Frams aren't that bad, though they aren't great. That study is old and improvements have been made. If staying in the inexpensive end - I'd buy a Wix, ProLine (Pep Boys brand), Puralotor or PureOne. If you are crazy, like me, get...

I did it - not that hard. But then I also have a shop manual - that really helps

I used the stock battery terminal when I installed mine - does using a new battery terminal make a difference?

You sure? I can send it along... I was going to email you to see if you wanted me to oil it...

Yeah...true enough...just a friendly reminder. Would oiling it solve the problem?

The one that came with the intake... ;) I'd recommend either oiling it or getting a K&N.

Just a little warning - when I removed my BOMZ intake, I noticed quite a bit of dust inside. This made me a little worried about what this intake was allowing thru and allowing to get to my engine (which may explain the recent oil filter failure I had). This may be solved with oiling the...

Doh! I need to be more specific in my question. What is the model# for the K&N filter that replaces the filter element on the Bomz (or similar Ebay intake) SRI?

seth, From what I understand, even K&N doesn't filter nearly as good as stock. I don't want to waste another $30 (or more if I can't figure out which filter to get) only to do further damage to my engine....
