Just a drop in filter. The stock airbox is more efficient because it doesn't get heat soak like CAI does. However if you get a good heat shield then it will be ok but you won't see any performance increase. Maybe 1 hp but thats it. You will however hear your DV and turbo a lot more!

Oh and what engine do you have?

I wouldn't suggest K&N due to the oil content of their filters. An oiled filter tends to foul a MAF sensor much quicker than it's non-oiled counterpart. It's not a cheap part either, I payed around $100 for a replacement MAF because mine failed and caused all kinds of problems. Just my two cents though.

If you are worried about the oil but still want a K&N then just wipe down your filer until there is no more oil on it. Thats what I did.
