i agree to a point, but a gain of 2rwhp is better than none and at 70.00 thats not bad.

well i'm just saying, if you look at the K&N website, their most expensive kit makes less HP than their cheaper one.. because of the SRAIGHT shot, even though the most expensive one digs into the fender and grabs cold air.
As far as Trap speed/ ET..who the heck knows..i don't think your gonna notice 2HP on a 1/4 with a manual transmission.

OP..whatever brah..if you like it, then thats all that matters.. personally I think you've lost your mind..the only purpose of a CAI is nice sound and good looks..and you screwed the look part up big time. looked more hard core stock. Should of just took the time and powerwashed/ Armor all'd your engine bay and kept the stock hose on there.
I want to see a dyno. 20 bucks says you lost power.
