Is the K&N FIPK worth the $400 or so you'll pay for it? I think so. Now I'm talking about the full FIPK kit (Part No 63-3055) for the '05-'06 SSR (the '03-'04 kit is different). I was already running the K&N filter in the stock box and I looked at the FIPK but, like you, I thought it couldn't possibly be worth the price. As luck would have it I got one for Christmas one year. It probably sat in the box for 6 months or so before I got around to putting it on. I was not expecting much but it was an easy and quick install and I had it so what the hell. As soon as I drove it I could feel a difference. I ran back home and got my G-tec and headed for my "test track". I was amazed to pick up 0.20 in the 1/4 mile. I later verified that at the drag strip too. It may not look like much but it works. I had a similar experience with K&N "back in the day" when the K&N Stub Stack first came out. Several friends of mine had spent the $50 or so (that was a lot back then) for a little piece of plastic that sat on top of your Holley carb and was supposed to make horsepower by "smoothing" the airflow into the carb. Man I laughed at them. What a waste of money. Then one of them let me borrow one to make a pass. I picked up 0.10 of a second. Another pass confirmed it. Now, I was running in the 10.90's or so at the time and to pick up a 0.10 you had to spend some money. This thing cost $50. Needless to say, I bought one. Guess I should quit under-estimating K&N.
