I will fill up again in a few days, and posts the MPGs.

Thanks for the input.

1. Unless the airbox is sealed with an external inlet, it's actually a WARM air intake. This will actually cause a LOSS in power.

2. The frequently used oiled filter elements do NOT filter as well as a dry paper or nano filter, and also can foul the MAF.

3. Especially on 04+ engines, the MAF relocation can cause you to run excessively lean.

So - for my money (or lack of), the Gotts with an Amsoil filter is the way to go in my opinion. It's cheap, it works, but it just doesn't look or sound cool.

The round tube is a heavy wall aluminum and bracket with rubber bushing where it attaches to same location as stocker did. I was just glad the previous owner installed it along with LoProQT cover and cat back exhaust!

I think maybe it's no longer made, though a few can be found still. True Flow #20502

And - they were the ONLY CAI/WAI manufacturer that stated on their website - with graphical evidence ( they flow-tested several units including their own ) - that none of them gained any power.

Their honesty was refreshing after all the Marketing BS bombardment from elsewhere.

Too bad they are history.

They based their product on providing excellent filtration - and looks.
