hi all i have ram air on my touring but im thinking about putting k&n pods on, the big question is what is better and what do you do with the I,A,T sensor on the k&n pods, and is there a kit for them.
thanks

I'd say gr rom following things you can find pronlems listed from people with the ram air even after they upgraded their first materials used. Wjile I just don't here people complaing about the K&N filters no matter what size. AIT goes in a little filter is norm but it can be routed into a filter in the throttle body as well as the crank case gases either get a filter or cam be routed to the intake or can be run thru a bafgled oil catch can and evacuated by vacuum out the exhaust. It really depends on what you want to do.
 
I just got the ramair kit two days ago. I went that way first because it has everything you need - Crank case breather, IAT sensor extension wire, and great instructions!
Also there is a youtube video on the installation that is very informative, too.
I have a spare bearclaw that I have marked to cut because I like that look and I will surely go to the K&N's (4010's are my fav at this moment) probably some time next year.

From what I have gathered here, the RamAir is a bit better from the performance standpoint.
Depends on what you are after.

And since you already have the RamAir, just put the IAT sensor inside a smaller filter and tie it close to the pods. Guys on here have pictures of theirs doing just that. All the glory to them.

I've stated this before, so excuse me if repetitive.
I've had my motor on the same dyno in the same configuration with both K&N 2780s and with Ram Air.
The Ram Air sucked more air and required more fuel, producing more horsies.
Not so noticeable on the butt dyno, but an improvement nonetheless.
I shall not go back to K&N - unless something happens to my engine and I need more air than the Ram Air allows. heh heh heh
