Let me make the point that this is RIGHT before the turbo, and this is an area you shouldn't skimp on, as you can damage the AFM and turbo if you get a cheapy that falls apart. In the end, a K&N is quite cheap since it's great protection, AND it's cleanable and will outlast having the change out cheap air filters.
Spend a lot of money ont he intake, and get cheap on the exhaust if you want to cust costs, this is you're engine's health here...

Exactly right, though personally I wouldn't want to go cheap on either, if you go cheap on an exhaust you can still fuck your car.
And yes K&N are great, they do the job, are a good price and you don't have to replace them, just clean every certain amount of K's... I forget what is recommended, 60,000 or something? *Shrugs*
But if you are modifying your car, you do NOT want to go cheap on anything, it WILL damage your car in the long run and possibly restrict buyers in the future if you ever decided to sell.
