I replace the paper filter with a K&N 2 weeks ago and noticed little or no change in gas mileage or power. It did however change the tone of the engine but as said above very minimal. CAI and tuneinstall in about 2 months and the K&N moves to the wifes V6. As for gas mileage I went from a V10 Excursion to the Mustang soanything over 18 mpg is super. One thing about the change to the K&N is it will not hurt and you can upgrade to CAI later.

I've had mine now for 2 months. I can't notice any HP or MPG gains, but it didn't hurt since I am still at 27 mpg. I like the fact that I no longer need to buy those $20 Napa Gold air filters.

It's always my first mod ina new car. Saves a little down the road and I swear I can tell a little difference, at least in the tone of the engine.

Steeda claims running a free flowing air filter without a tune will lean the car out.

Hey, I like that argument. Honey, the real reason that I installed the CAI/tune into the car was because I wanted to "go green". I now have a filter that i never throw away. I'm going to try that one tonight and see what she says. I think she'll cry BS on me because she knows the real reason i did it but it's nice to have an alternative reason as ammunition. My car has gone green!!!!!

Ive had it on my last 4 cars, i noticed more of a tone change on my explorer than on the stang. No change in hp or mileage.

Put your pants on, and go buy the parts you want! Just kidding, Any air flow improvement should help.

I currently have one in my stang and have to agree with the rest..did not notice any MPG or HP improvement other than a slightly diff sound...

I would say the $50 and just wait on a tune/cai package. I do have an economy package on my site that includes a custom VMP tuner and the VMP GT intake with a special sale price of $439:
