No, but you’ve got to admit that that stock air box and filter are VERY restrictive.

 

I still like my C&L set up.

 

Not as restrictive as the bending rubber tube from the box to the TB.

 

I moved my FIPK from the '96 to the 2000, and I noticed a big difference in the 2000. I haven't driven the '96 since I put the stock back on. The 2000 perked up a lot in the lower end especially. It responded faster for one thing. I didn't have to get on it as hard to get good response.

There was an article posted on another thread from a 5.0 magazine testing the '99 when it came out. The first thing they did was yank the filter and put a K&N filter on it. Not the whole kit just the filter. It dynoed 5 hp higher. That's just the filter. I'm sure the whole shebang doesn't buy you much more than that, but it has to help. As Josh said, the stock is very restrictive. Cheap mod if you ask me.

 

exactly. i never noticed any gains. i mean i am sure they are there but i never noticed them.
