Sorry if this has been answered already. Searched to no avail.

Ok...stupid question.... but I was planning on getting a K & N air filter foraround $60. But then I thought I might look into an Injen intake.

If I get an intake do I still need the K & N filter? Does the intake have a different filter on it in place of the regular filter? or do I need both?

I just don't want to waste money.

When you get an intake you get new filter, (cone shaped). Granted you could still get a K&N filter with your injen intake.

So, make sure I understand.

If I use an intake...I use the air filter provided with the intake and nothing else?

So I shouldn't buy an air filter if i'm considering an intake?

Does it really matter if I change an air filter ? (different sound ?.....)

Nope, its the piping that determines sound i think.
