i just went and bought a K&N E-1796. it is one of the biggest filters K&N sells. you could run just that but i am going to try and build an air box out of sheet metal for it. kind of like an ice box.

do a run down the interstate and get out a touch your intake piping. they get hot, and the outside of your aftermarket air box if its mounted near your exhaust housing the insides are boiling, i wrap those with some radiant heat shielding and you can tell a difference on a long ride.

i went the afe route. added a tork tube aswell. all depends how much u want to spend an what ur looking to get from it. anything geting u more fresh clean air will really help. but they all work decently well.
