Thanks for feeding the troll haha

Seriously though, looks like a pretty good way to clean up the bay if anything else. Power gains of not.... I'd like to see an independent dynojet run this intake vs. stock...

i have one also...low end torque---1000-2500 rpms----sucks, but after you hit about 2500 rpms its like a 2 stroke power band. if you know how to use the steering wheel shift buttons you can keep the rpms up and it will go go.
i also have the borla exhaust with the resonator delete...super bada$$ sound. with very small drone at 75mph.

Honestly I don't care what the exact temperature of the air is that it's sucking in. All that matters is that I notice a permance increase, and it sounds much better than it did before..

Just go to K&N's website and, type in this product number: 57-9011 and there is a dyno chart on there! I wanna say it shows a 9.5 hp increase at higher rpms.

Yeah I have been using the shift buttons, and you're right, right about when you hit 2,500 rpm's a deep *** sound comes then you definitely feel it!

i did this a little while ago, sounds so much better, much more engine noise, as far as performance, i didn't notice all that much difference, but to me the noise was worth every penny. just make sure you clean it with their kit every now and then
