If you go with the replacement panel filter you will yield about 2-4% gain which isn't that much. Go with a Stillen or Place Racing cold air intake. Much better horsepower gains. Believe me, I've had both.

I had the drop in before my cai

I did not notice a difference when I put it on but when I took it off the car felt a little slugish.

It has minimal gains but is worth it. You never have to buy an air filter again

i didn't like it

To be honest with you I personally didn't like it, this is going to sound strange, but when I had it in for 2 days, the car seem to be bogged down, it didn't accelerate, liked it just did 2 days before, I returned it, got a Fram filter, and went right back to normal, I don't know why but it happened.

From what I understand, as the K&N filter gets dirtier it works better...don't ask me how it works tho.
