I installed the filter yesterday and installed the scoop today. I also took the liberty of cutting out the plastic screen by the air inlet behind the grille. I didnt see much of a point other than an intake restriction lol. We'll see how she does tomorrow. Install was very easy FWIW.

Ok. I definitely noticed a difference in the power band (4k rpm +). It *might* pull a little harder on the highway, but hard to tell. I notice the largest difference in high RPM in second gear. A tune may be in order too.
