I added a K&N filter, swiss cheesed the bottom part of the airbox and removed the screen at the MAF sensor... (Yea, yea... I know). I picked up about 2 mpg on the highway, can't say I noticed any more power though.

Swain is an unknown quantity at this point

I bet 1.7 of those were from the K&N filter

Was your other one dirty?

i know this is an old thread but anyone doing this dont get a oiled filter like K&N seen many very dirty engines from them I found a complete cai kit with heat shield for $70 and just got a dry cai filter from amsoil.
