I am thinking about changing my airfilter to a K &N, hoping to get a little better performance. I already removed the Sharcoal filter inside. What do you guys think those of you that have done this or thinking about doing it?
Thanks Ali

Search on K&N and you will see a few threads about this. It's a mod that can't hurt and is cheap ($40 US).

I installed the K&N in mine a few months ago ... easy to do.

But I'm not sure you will notice too much difference. It may be somewhat more responsive now and the sound now has a bit more throat to it. Nothing substantial but it is a good move.
