I just ordered one, i'm just curious as to what my expectations should be. As of now they're pretty low haha.

I plan on getting an ESS tuned ECM soon, i'm sick of the poor throttle response.

i don't think you will notice it, couple of HP gain is hard feel.

if you add RPI scoop to it, exhaust, and tune that will make difference

Perhaps it feels a bit smoother, but nothing drastic. :geek:

I noticed a difference with my K&N, but I also have the RPI scoop. In city driving not much difference at all, but when I go to pass someone on the freeway? Much better response from my I6 :twoup: I would definitely suggest the tune and exhaust from RPI as well to make to maximize performance of your car. Those are definitely in my future plans as well :hyper:

I just ordered an RPI scoop as well. :) After taxes come in, i'm ordering a tuned ECM :D Exhaust may have to wait for a while :(

Couple of months ago I switched to K&N, deleted charcoal and felt nothing at all :( But maybe that just me..
