You guys who have changed your airfilter to another than original...do you feel any increased horsepower? Do it make more noice? Sounds it good or is it just disturbing? <P>I can recommend REMUS exhaust system...makes a great noice but I can not say if it increased the hp.

I don't really recommend putting a filter unless you plan on putting one that is going to get air from somewhere else than the engine bay.<P>If not you will suck in hot air therefore decreasing performance.

some one told me that if you bang out the bottom of the factory air box it will increase air flow, but im not about to try it, its up to you, i think the hot air will kill hp, but he swears it makes a better sound and more hp...i noticed his sounded louder, but i didn't get to drive it to see if it increases hp, what do you think guys??
