Good morning and welcome to daylight savings time! I,m not real handy, but I've always been able to at least change air filters. I picked up a K&N air filter and am wondering if there are any pitfalls involved in installing. Any help would be appreciated.

[/quote]You never know what you may get into with German engineering. Should be easy, but I just want to be sure. As for HP gains, not much, maybe 5 or so, but I'll take it.
