Hurricane claims 15hp which is typical for CAI bringing cooler air from outside engine compartment. Should be nice improvement. I'm planning on doing Vararam soon.

Just got it in this morning. Kind of a pita to install. I realized it won't be easy pulling the filters out to wash and oil them once a year. I only drive it about 6,000 miles a year. I got the carbon fiber one vs. the black plastic. Looks great! I noticed a definate improvement in performance and sound at wot. When I got back from the drive I was shocked at how cold the intake and throttle body felt. It was only 60 degrees here today.
