Yeah I agree, it's not a hard or long process. Not quite like a wingnut though.

Timed it the other day. Took 8 minutes to replace original with a K&N drop in filter. Defininately more responsive (no, it's not in my head!) and mpg up by 2 with first tank.

OK, I'll bite for the 8 minutes.....

But the "definitely more responsive" and "mpg up by 2" I respectively raise the....



I've done a bunch of data acquisition on the stock 2.4 LE5 intake. It is NOT restrictive, even past the stock redline!

If you've put a K&N in front of the MAF sensor, just give it some time until you start getting CELs, etc.
