I just installed mine. Seems to make the regular mode a bit more responsive and less dead feeling. But then again, my *** dyno isn't all that accurate

Just put mine in also and the fit is perfect. I didn't drive it around yet, but during idle it didn't sound any different. Hopefully this will yield a bit more HP and some more MPG...Darshana S...

Looks as though Tom's just released one. Not sure as to how it will compare to the K&N and stock. I don't know much about what performance enhancement their previous filters have yielded.

Just a quick follow up question on the charcoal filter, does have something to do with the A/C or just for the engine?

Question what is the purpose of this filter and is it worth the extra money?

It's not too hard, just take your time:

1. Remove the front and passenger side black engine covers.
2. Remove the stock rubber intake hose from the airbox and throttle body...you need to do this so you can get more room to remove the intake box cover holding on the stock air filter.
3. Undo the latches for the stock airbox on top and remove the airbox cover holding on the air filter. Be careful to remove the MAF sensor wire from the box that is clipped on.
4. Replace air filter and reverse the above steps.

Hope that helps...Darshana S..
