Unfortunately it does, too bad theres not a mod that keeps upgrading throughout its life.

If you notice the HP increase with a drop-in filter, it will be in your mind. You can't feel the 3-4 HP it gains. It's more like you think you felt it, then later, you know better. Most of the bolt on mods are forgettable. Try a supercharger; the whine and G-force will remind you every time you tromp it.

superchargers are clearly the way to go, its just the cost that stings.

The typical bolt on performance mods add up fast and provide little excitement. You can get more performance by using that same money to partially defray the supercharger cost.

Great Customer Service!!!

Just called K & N about my filter. Essentially the gaskets on the base of the filter have started to come off. I fixed one of them the last time I cleaned the filter, but this time both of them have started to fall off. Called K & N about the issue, they said get the number off of the filter and call them back and they will replace it for free!!! I always thought the million mile warranty was a sales gimmick, but they do stand behind their products!!

I didnt use the metal that the how to says. I just hacked my stock airbox and used the stock trim ring so it connects nice and tight!
