I just installed a K&N (I've liked their products over the years)... and here's some "first impressions."

A subtle improvement on the low-end... engine seems to be running a bit smoother -- noticed this "at idle" and when working through 1st to 2nd gear.

My comparison point is what I've been keeping track of over the last 3 weeks since I took delivery. A somewhat "stumbling idle" and what I would characterize as some carry-over of that as revs build were on my list of things to address with dealer at 1st service. After this morning's commute... maybe not. Maybe there is some "placebo effect" coming into play (i.e, maybe I WANT it to be better) but I'm hoping that I'm being pretty objective.

Taking a slow approach to modding.. considering a silicone intake tube next... and then a Nameless Offset Axleback exhaust.

Commentary: I LOVE driving this car... haven't had this much fun driving in a long time! And the fact that it didn't cost an arm & two legs is just gravy!
