The peak to peak numbers don’t tell the whole story. The K&N intake made more power across the board from low to high rpm and from 5300 to 6800 made a huge difference in power. In the range of 6000 rpm, the gain hovers at around 30 more whp for several hundred rpm which backs up K&N’s claim. Past the torque peak the K&N delivers 7-11 more lb/ft of torque. That is awesome area under the curve. K&N has scored with what is perhaps the all time greatest bang for the buck mod.

| Pretty impressive results if you ask us! This is the largest gain we have ever seen for a cold air intake on any vehicle! |
Skeptical or not, data is data and we are now believers in the K&N intake. It even has a million mile warranty! After thinking about it later, we probably should have tried the stock intake with the trap door opened for the entire run but we considered this a few hours after the test. Maybe we will try this at a later date.
Looking under the car, we see areas where the exhaust necks down considerably. We think there may be pleasant surprises waiting for us with a bit of exhaust tuning!
