I have to agree. If the engineer types, who cry at night in the hopes that some diety can show them 1/10th of a horsepower, could simply change air cleaner elements for instant power, I'm sure that they would.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I've got the K&N filters in mine, cut the covers off flush with the K&N's, keep the 2nd cover on to protect against water. Did two dyno pulls, one with the cover and one without. Made 352RWHP and 353RWTQ. Not even 1hp difference with or without the cover. I'm happy, it's a good starting point. Today my car goes to Magnaflow for some R&D, in return I get there street version. If it doesn't drone or resonate I'll keep it If not they can have it back. Kooks should be in this week,and finally Jessel 1.8 rockers. Anyway, the K&N's work cost $98.00 for the two.
