(I don't see much difference yet it has only been a week)
I did the same thing and it's probably the only engine mod I will do prior to a full build.

You won't notice any difference in power or gas mileage. Intakes simply don't add power, just better flow and louder noise.

LXMaster, ugh... dunno what to do with you. Didn't even notice you snuck in this thread until now.

you know you can get a cheap one off ebay, and just replace the cone with a k &n
I don't do ebay...they have crappy materials for their pipe
eventually the pipe will get hot sooner or later

who cares? the gains are so minimal that the material is irrelevant.

Just fyi, the air is the same temperature regardless of the type of material..At the end of the day, its basically the same thing.
