Figured you guys would want to see photos at least... I sat in traffic mostly the whole ride home, so no real feedback yet. Can tell a huge difference on WOT(wide open throttle). KN claimed ~9hp more or less and I think I should be seeing 22-23mpg versus 21 on the freeway now on the computer.

I think I'm the first with a K&N.. as I(and bearlynitro) were the prototypes.

Enjoy...

I heard the vacuum noise on wide open throttle like I said, when for a ride last night. The acceleration curve is much nicer now. The car is still on/off like a mercedes but on well.

I drove around last night, just has allot more power throughout.

Noisewise though you just hear a louder vacuum noise when you floor it and you'll hear it kick it through 3600-6000rpms..

I was also a prototype tester. I should be getting mine as well next week. Can't wait as i just got my Nitro back from the shop from that stupid accident. Yeah i was to be the first :4-angermax: (very jealous) but that damn accident had me to reschedule getting it. Congrats tho! Did you get a dyno from K&N? They dynoed mine but before the CAI was installed.

The installation is very neat and professional. Sounds like performance and MPG improvements are also there. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Thanks for the pics and performance update. Seems like 4.0 aftermarket parts are really slow coming out.
