The K&N by itself will help just a little. To get the most out of it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a custom tune (either from a local tuner or one of the previous recommendations). A good tune with altered auto tranny shifting settings will make the car much more fun to drive!
I'd also HIGHLY RECOMMEND a different muffler; just get GT take-off from someone for free, or get something different. The stock V6 muffler is overly restrictive. Changing it, you'll feel a power difference.
BTW, the first 3 mods I did were: mufflers; K&N CAI, and custom tune. They each helped in power, but the K&N by itself with no tune had the least SOTP (seat of the pants) affect; it took a custom tune to make the most out of the K&N.
Do you get '2nd gear tire chirp' now? You WILL with the K&N and custom tune!!!
