K&N Air Intake vs LED Smoked Taillights

I dont know if i should go with the intake or the tail lights. Either one will cost $230+ and I dont know what i should get. Performance or Looks


For the people who have istalled the K&N Typoon system on there I4, how is it? do you fell like you have better gas milage? i know that i will increase HP, but im more in it for the gas saving.

Well tell me what you all think i should get. Thanks.

I would choose an intake over LED Tail Lights, in my own opinion.

I had that intake for about a year and then sold it. It sounds very nice but I didn't get any real performance gains nor any noticeable improvement in mpg. iF you think paying well over 200 bucks for adding a nice deep growl to your engine then go for it.

LED'S FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ummm I'd go LED taillights if I were you. That will really set apart your car from others, not an intake under the hood that gives a minimal horsepower gain.
