Your criteria:

- Reliability: Not sure if serious. :?

- Performance: Negligible gains with both.

- Maintenance: Doesn't depend on type of intake, depends on type of filter. If you opt for the aFe dry-flow, you can just wash it with water and dry it off. Oiling kits not required, unlike the K&N.

- You will never get pulled over for an intake. :arrow:
