K&N or other intake systems?

Is anyone aware of a K&N intake system (the full intake system, not just the filter) is available for the 2.4L ???

Optionally, does anyone else make a full intake system yet?

I haven't found anything for the 2.4 yet. there are some kits out of korea and EU that fit the 2.0, though the engines are both classified as the theta ii. hopefully soon.
Do you know if the kits for 2.0 see any decent number gains?? Wondering if I should just wait for the K&N instead of wasting my money on a knock off.
there is a kit for the 2.0, stage 2,that had good increases in hp and torque, let me find that link.
I can't find it now, it was for the 2.0 cerato, same motor i think, not the diesel kit though. I talked to a guy at www.kfxperformance.com that is working on kits for both the 2.0 and 2.4. they already have a few things.

Has anyone found a cold air intake that will work with the 2.4?
Not yet. K&N did an intake kit for the Spectra but it kept the filter in the same location (same location as ours) so not sure it was effective since it probably gets a lot of hot engine bay air.
I really hope K&N is hurrying up on a cold air intake...I got money burning in my pocket so I can buy one.
When I bought my forte I found out that the exact 2.4L was used in the Optima prior to 2010. I haven't verified it yet thought.

I am sure you could find one and make it fit ;), I have done it before on other cars I bet you could on the Forte as well. Have you checked out any European aftermarket companies? I am sure something is already available across the pond.

Found this ..It's designed with a large high flow cone filter and could be adapted to fit the OEM air intake ...Found this video from Australia. shows the filter off quite well, click link (scroll down) http://www.modyourcar.com.au/kn-apollo-c...-red-p5172
