K&N intake ?
So I was looking at getting some K&N filters for the car and noticed that they have listed their air intake with the free flowing tube. They are saying that it increases horse power by 12.6. Does anyone have this and is there any actual noticeable change in either sound or power delivery ?

You're def not going to see a 12 hp increase... You'll actually have less intake noise too since this tube deletes the intake noise generator that is on the stock intake.

Waste of money. Without changing the factory air-box you are limited air flow. The stock filter is already pretty well designed. I doubt the K&N is going to show any notable improvement.

Guys please, ur not going to get any HP from this, all that feel is just in ur head. We've been down this road many times before, all it does is make the engine bay look nicer.
The Takeda will make it sound louder but the K&N will actually make it quieter.

Matics where does that hole under the filter lead to? It looks like the fender well? If there is a factory hole there then a cold air intake is possible. Its giving me some ideas. I will need to look into it.
The takada's weakness is in the filter size. If you fit a larger surface area filter you may get a performance gain when at speed as cool air is being rammed in through the stock snorkel.
