You sure you want the K&N drop in filter? Alot of people here say they noticed no difference and a few who had it put the stock one back in. It might not be a good idea to take out the secondary filter either since I read on here it actually decreased hp when you remove it.

Yup, if you look underneath the air filter cover you'll see it. I have a K&N drop in but thinking I might switch back to stock though.

Yea I heard that too but if only you over oil it. But that's one of the reason why I'm switching back just to be safe.
