air filter?
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 25-May-01 AT 00:05 AM (EST)[/font][p]K&N used to say 15hp, seems a little much for an air filter, I'd guess around 5. Assuming your driving habits stay the same, you should pick up .5-1.0 mpg. Downside.....well I read a post awhile back talking about grit/dirt getting past K&N's, but I check mine often and have seen no such problem.
I like my K&N's, and run them in everything I own, no problems. :>)

it just gets more air into your motor easier, more air, more gas = more power. if you hav'nt modified your exhaust yet you'll see more effect from the filter when you do. the easier you make it for the air to get in and out the more efficiently your motor will run .

great advice! .. and don't forget to clean it every so often and don't over-oil it ("When servicing a K&N filter, take care not to over-oil the element. Besides impeding air flow, excess oil can migrate into the intake system where it can coat electronic sensors, which may hinder their operation. Never saturate the filter. If oil drips from the filter, wash it and start over. Use only K&N oil. For example, an E-1500 filter has 92.4-inches of surface area requiring 1.707 fluid ounces of oil. Follow oiling instructions included with your filter or refer to the instructions listed in the back of this catalog." .. from:
