I saw some real cheap cone air filters on ebay for like 10-15 bucks which include the air filter and adapter. Are those safe to use or are they bogus. There were also some k&N kits for $35-40 I would feel more comfortable with, but if the cheap ones are good Id rather buy that for now.

I also have one, my only complaint would be if you get the one with the plastic adapter it's slightly smaller than the stock afm opening, but a dremel and about 10 minutes will fix that
