Doesn't add anywhere near 10hp. Maybe 2-3?? I noticed the throttle responds a bit quicker. The engine breaths better, when you turn it off you also hear the whooshing sound.

Gas milage does increase, I get on average another 4mpg city driving.

put a K&N then take the resonator out of the bottom then run a pipe/hose to the front behind your roadlamp.

Not as loud as a CAI but louder than stock and better responce and much improved gas mileage.

even if you didn't want to add HP get it anyways cause it'll pay for itself w/ all the gas you save.

Am I the only dumbass that couldn't figure out which side faces up on the K&N? I put the flat side up and the side that came out down. Anyone know what I am talking about?
