Looks like you bought a well cared for car. The mag plug and the probable LNE spin on adapter are nice upgrades! Check your K&N filter part number and see if it cross references to a NAPA Gold 1042 filter. The NAPA Gold is the recommended filter and is what I run, then cut that filter open and inspect for debris.

You can use a muffler pipe cutter from Autozone, they loan for free if you do not want to purchase a tool you'll use infrequently.
