There probably is a Hp increase due to the increased air flow, but I've never seen any reported estimates.
Regarding how to do this mod, I have a 6637 folder in my gallery where I go through the steps if installing the filter. One difference, though, is that i would not worry about re-installing the FilterMinder at the end of the filter element the way I did in the gallery.
It turns out that that particular location is the wrong spot to get any kind of accurate measurement for filter flow resitriction until it's virtually too late. Best location for the FilterMinder is on the exit end of the filter element near the itnake tube.

Vijay... I've updated my gallery to exclude the FilterMinder pics that are no longer necessary (in my opinion).
No, the cover is not necessary, but I believe it is helpful. If you want to talk more about it, shoot me an email at famisto8@yahoo.com ... that way I can keep the Mods and Admins happy by keeping any "business" discussions off of FTE resources.

I'm extremely happy with my 6637 mod. Mine has been to Alaska and back with no problems. I see no need of the cover, it is very easy to keep an eye on it as is. I guess if I were going to enter an auto show I may consider some kind of fancy cover. but I'm now, and I like to be able to view it in an instant whenever I feel like it.

Buy a filter from NAPA (6637) and just plug in?

I've got to add to this one more time. Easy, Inexpensive, Extremely Efficient. Not to mention it sounds real cool and looks neat. Plus if you open your hood around another PSD owner he/she is impressed and it's a good conversation piece.
