That's huge HP gain, if it's real. I just clunked a drop-in into the existing box, and saw a 1 to 2 MPG gain, with unknown HP gains. I have read on a few separate posts how the factory box SUCKS, but I'd be curious to see what this new part would do for MPG increases. Any thoughts?

The dyno sheet is actually posted on their site. I guess I would consider that real.

What about the 4.0L engine for the R/T?
When do we get this mod for the R/T's engine? I want an extra 12hp too.

I Hate being Last
Sucks! Why are the ever-so bad ass R/Ts always left behind in the after market race. I want my performance parts!

I guess I'm just one of those skeptical kind of guys ...
Still curious if anyone has thoughts about improved MPG?

My MPG improved with the intake.
Generally removing intake and exhaust restrictions is one of the few mods that increase BOTH HP and MPG. Advancing the ignition via a chip or PROM programmer is another (somewhat offset by higher gas cost).
In my experience this has held true every time I have made these changes to other cars.

They have the Dyno sheet and I know for a fact that is the actual day and all that it was run on the dyno.

So, it sounds like you had the work done as a K&N tester? Did you notice a significant performance increase, or better mileage? How does it look under the hood? Any pictures?

Yes I did have it done by K&N at their facility. Better all around performance and mileage. Pics are in gallery.

It's about time!
It's about time K&N get this thing released. After speaking with the folks at K&N, their 63 Series, part # 63-1554 is going to make the most hp. The 77 Series with the polished intake tube they said is mostly for looks. Looking at the dyno numbers for each on the K&N website, there is less than 1 hp difference between the two. Me personally, I like the look of the black tube like the one Nitroinsocal has. Anybody know if HHP is going to carry it? Decisions decisions, do I get the intake next or the headers. I'm leaning more toward the headers.

I've had pretty good luck with CAIs on a Dodge Neon & a Toyota 4Runner. 13% increase doesn't sound that unbelievable to me. Of course it is in pretty ideal conditions on a dyno so real life (dirt & dust, weather conditions, elevation, etc.) will probably not give quite as good a results.
13% IS HUGE!!!!
thats 27 hp on a 210 hp engine from just an air filter?!?!?
I have a strong background in bracket racing and muscle cars and for the mostpart --- hp = $$$
I'll believe it when I see an independent and objective dyno test like the one Bowhunter4life is going to do.

I've been searching the internet and making phone calls and can't find the K&N kit anywhere accept for directly from K&N. They want $321.75 for the 63 Series intake. I think I'll wait for a bit to see if HHP or Summit will start carrying it. If and when they do it should be cheaper than the manufacturer.
Another option is the AEM with the dryflow filter. Apparently filters better than the K&N. It''s the one I'm considering.
