Default Mouse in my airbox!

Today I installed the K&N Intake and Steeda Strut bar on my '07 GT. When I proceeded to take of the stock airbox and filter I noticed that a good portion of the cornerof the filter had all this grey fur stuck to it! No wonder I was lacking power from the stock intake! My friend said "Maybe the mouse acted like that "Tornado" air filter for HP gains". I doubted it( LOL) Now that the dead mouse has been removed from the engine, I have more power than I expected. The K&N doesn't really make that much of a noise difference until I reach 4500RPM. Then it really kicks in.
Just a funny story I wanted to share.

You saw the fur, but the mouse, it was clearly adding horsepower, I'm going to putone in for the next bigmod I'm doing... watch out Evos and C6s.
