Thanks for the response Tex. Sounds like we have the same situation. Thanks for the replies to this thread.

The S&B is more closed than AF1 but it is not sealed or anything, just not as restrictive as stock.
Both kits are very high quality and both have their +'s and -'s

4.6
I been through this with the 4.6
Do the K&N CAI and a SCT TUNER with a CORSA EXHAUST.
On the DYNO the CAI made 6 RWHP and with the TUNE and EXHAUST it made an additional 22 RWHP.. Better throttle response and also 2 MPG better...
Now I know opinions are like A HOLES but just my 2 cents..

For one reason or another I am trying to talk myself out of the K&N due to the fact that it is very seldomn ever talked about. Thanks for the input Mark. I'd go for a Air Force 1 but they are still working on them, as Alon stated previously. Found the K&N for 250 with free shipping which isn't bad from what I have seen. I'm leaning towards a CAI right now, and within a few months getting a tuner.
