it might get you 1 rwhp...where a good CAI might get you 4 rwhp. Either way, neither one of them is something that your going to feel as soon as you put it on.

If your going to do that remove the boot from the side of the filter housing. then you might get 3. But like they said don't expect to feel it.

in my eyes getting a straight shot intake and taking off the silencer and getting a K&N are the same thing.
