No, K&N does not make any full intake systems; all they make is the filter, the filter housing and the necessary plumbing to fit the filtration device to your car.
 
I suggest that before we raise the ire of our hosts any further, we put a lid on this discussion, and if necessary, continue it over in the "Gas Saving Gizmos & Gadgets" discussion.

The graphics you cite DOES count as an intake "system" for my .02 cents. Unless you want to stretch it a bit by saying the rest is just the mounting system!

Nope, those things do NOT count as an intake system in my book. Why? Because a complete intake system starts at the intake air horn and terminates at the cylinder heads, and as such includes filter element, filter housing, plumbing between the filter housing and the throttle body, throttle body (if so equipped), intake plenum, intake runners and fuel injector ports (if not mounted in the heads). The K&N system terminates at the throttle body best case scenario, and further upstream worst case.

The net result is either way it is a waste of money, unless one is more concerned about the bling aspect.
