At most, couple of hours. The greatest differnce is in lower end power (not much, but some), and a differnt sound (mostly in 2nd/3rd, or when going up a hill).

Depends on the intake really. Its a few hp given the stock intakes are better than most of the ones you can get off of ebay/insert non reputable intake manufacture name here.

now if you are like luc & make a duct to your bumper you are bringing in cold air, now if you just stick on a filter, you are sucking in engine heat
