I disagree with this entire post.

Yes I can. Just like, I can feel the difference in my vehicle when my tires are not properly inflated.
Not only do I feel the minute difference, it also has a different sound that I noticed. I guess I'm very aware of my surroudings.

Different vehicles respond differently. The K&N FIPK in my truck makes a huge difference over stock, but I know guys that have put the same one in a similar year with a 351, and they couldn't tell at all. Then again, maybe it's the driver. lol.

I know the K&N, AEM and AFE intakes are 50 state legal.
If they arent CARB certified, they arent 50 state legal either.

The added horsepower will make you a tad faster.
The added noise and extra vibration caused by the mod most likely gives you a false sense of extra speed though...
so i agree with both sides of this argument
Unless you add 5 mods with 5-10 hp or more each.... then you'll start to notice quite a bit. which is the whole point.

K&N Series-77 on my 4.2L. Same as dirtyd88's but the engines a whole lot cleaner!
