The crossmember has been ok so far, but I keep an eye on the mounts and other parts down there to check for cracks, or bending.

The K&N isn't really my ideal choice, but the options are limited. I just haven't seen a good option for a high flowing OEM style airbox with a paper filter that will fit in the corner of the engine bay. If I did, I would probably use it. The thing that I need to do is extend the inlet hose so that the filter is closer to the front of the engine bay, and make a heat shield around it. That way, it will get inlet air from the area behind the grille, rather than the hot air in the engine bay. The position my filter is in right now costs me some power.
