If you've got a V6...you probably wont notice a difference. We just dont take in enough air to utilize 2 excellent flowing filters like those pictured..you're fine with one. And assuming those are K&N's, you're looking at $40-$50 each...plus the cost of the tubing and the PVC-looking connector in the middle and all the clamps. Basically..what MD said.

Truthfully you only really need on K&N cone for out cars, the second one will add power, but its cost to effect is pretty useless and you might as well not bother. When you only gain .1hp from the second K&N that money is pretty much useless.

But for a V-8 which is more thirsty for Air, it would be a realitive gain.
