No. It's a waste of money. I actually felt more "power" putting everything back to OEM. I wasted $191.

The OEM is the best intake kit for this car, it gives u a nice sound and power. Other kits will take away the sound and power will be about the same, no noticeable difference that u can feel.

From experience, K&N filters gave me nothing but expensive headaches with my previous cars. Stick to OEM.

I thought it was a BIG no no to install a K&N filter in a vehicle that has a mass air flow sensor in it.

The measuring device in the sensor is smaller than a human hair and ANY debris ( such as oil from a K&N ) will result in a large bill to replace the sensor !
I realize K&N says they are safe and that's probably true, as long as a person is very careful when cleaning it and oiling it down. But why take the chance for little to no real gain.
