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. Best Regards, Shipo

The folks hanging out in Gas Saving Gizmos & Gadgets are really looking forward to some input from all of you who are interested in this conversation...
