Alright!! Another Minnesotan!

I just have a regular drop-in K&N filtercharger and not a FIPK. I believe I got it from www.truckperformance.com. Install took about 15 minutes as you have to install a gasket in the stock airbox.

Make sure you do the amber DRL fix. Then I'll know for sure it's you ;D

Sounds good, but I'd talk to Gandolphxx or look at the posts under the performance forum. I haven't done any performance mods to mine other than the filter upgrade.

What kind of performance changes do you get from changing the air filter.

Yeah, Jakson is right on. A drop-in K&N filtercharger (not a FIPK) will give you a 3HP boost which you probably won't even notice. You will notice the under hood sound is a little more "manly." I mainly picked mine up for the re-usability factor first and the perfomance gain second.

The performance of the Av will definitely increase with the addition of an FIPK and exhaust.....throw in some headers and now your talkin'.......increased fuel mileage....nice rumble......BUT don't expect toooooo much.....it will in no way feel like you just dropped a vortech or whipple on there....but just think of what it would be like if you had the above and did.... :eek:

Guess I missed you. I was in Indy all weekend for the Brickyard 400. Got my Av from Grossman Chev in Burnsville as it is nearby.
