I got my K&N air filters from performance products, they work pretty good, they made a difference on the car too (1 tenth in the quarter mile)

Plus there reuseable so they pay for themselves after 60,000 miles.

As an alternative, I have BMC Air Filters on my C32 and I am feeling the difference as well.

Yes you do need two air filters, it is about $110.00 including shipping.

I don't know if you want it louder or not, but you are not going to hear a difference at all.
You usually hear a difference only if you were to remove the air filter box and put a cold air induction (like on american cars).
