wow.. So I did some research, I guess they really don't have shelves...

ALDI - shopping smarter

"Another thing you’ll notice is that most of our canned and dry food isn’t on shelves. We have our suppliers package them in self-displaying cases, stacked and delivered to us on labor-saving pallets."

well what do you know about that.

Those filters flow really well but their actual ability to filter anything really blows. I read that you can actually use k&n oil on those foam filters to help with the filtration and keep them from drying out later and getting sucked into the motor.

It's a matter of preference. 17.5 whp gain (dyno from stillen site) on the stillen for $500 + bumper removal and dremeling vs less than 200 for hoses and drop ins that may give 8-12 hp. I'm starting to re-think my stillen purchase plan...

Also I've been watching some youtube vids of time attacks and a lot of tuners have also stayed away from CAI's and used just hoses and filters.

Same here. I just don't see $300 and an hour or two more work is worth the 5-9 HP you MAY get with the Stillen over the drop ins with the HKS smooth pipe. Thats a lot of money per HP when you do the math.

Of course, when it was all said and done, I just paid about $350 including installation for an under-drive pulley that might get me 5-7 HP.

Those are even more expensive and it is pretty much a "bling" and JDM factor.

To each his own. I know guys who choose to go with only very very high end parts foe their NA hondas (Mugen, Spoon, JUN) and they still love it. It's all preference.
