Thumbs up K&N E-1989 Filter review

So I bought one and wondered if it was all hype for the performance. Well after testing it for the last 2 days I would say it did improve perfomance and throttle response. The HHR also seems to have a better power band now. I am pleased with this filter. I'm installing the DP today so I'll see how much that helps.

Total cost was $52 and install was 3 minutes or less. It's about 1/2 inch shoter than stock filter but slightly bigger round. Not sure if the kit would have made a bigger difference but I didn't see paying $300 for 7 hp

I have to agree, just the changing of the filter on mine helped a ton so I'll stick to the filter only.
Although I just saw the price IS coming down, now down to $222.05
