I'm not driving on any dirt roads and I don't plan to clean and reoil it. That might have been my problem, over oiling it. I will buy a new one when it gets dirty or a different intake when the best intake on the market is figured out.
I received it today and I did notice (just like my Truck)
• RPM’s Rev more freely
• Power band ‘feels’ smoothed out
• Acceleration is achieved quicker
• A ‘slight’ increase in suction sound
