It makes zero change in sound or HP. Not worth it on any level.

I highly doubt it, even more free flowing intakes have no effect on mpg.

your wasting your money and damaging your engine. The K&N let so much crap through. Put the filter into the light. You can see the light come out the other side. My AEM dry flow you can't see light through.

A "upgraded" filter will not increase MPG neither does a new OEM filter (if yours is dirty/old). All that is increased is the performance (very little- but sometimes noticeable in throttle response)

They can be had much cheaper looking around ebay. I just bought one brand new for $40 shipped.

I've used K&N numerous times, it's not going to instantly change your car to a Ferrari but will be a subtle improvement. I'm a fan of longevity more than anything, those suckers last such a long time.
