Default Replacing air filter vs. cold air

I am wondering how much more flow I am going to get from going to a cold air intake or just sticking a K&N air filter in the stock air box. I only plan on intake and exhaust for right now since I have factory warranty.

CAI will void warranty...
even the NISMO CAI will because its R-Tune (RACE-TUNE)
...
so keep all of the warranty you need S-Tune parts (Sport-Tune)
So ...
S-tune replacement high flow filter element
S-tune nismo weldina exhaust

I've heard that the K&N drop-in can net a few HP. But it's much cooler to get a proper intake.

Or just conform and get a popcharger! lol

Look at members mods. I think that the choice is pretty clear.

I'd suggest a popcharger. that way you'll def get a bump in hp and its easy to swap out the stock airbox if your worried about your service dept having a fit.

In my modified mag a few months back they put the K&N drop in air filter and dyno'd and it showed a 4HP gain.
