[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 168841, member: 23735"] [b]careful now...[/b] While the valves and throttle body will only flow so much ... that so much is way more than your stock engine normally needs. You have to look for the weakest link to get more air to the engine in the search for power. IF that link happens to be a restricive by design stock air filter then the K&N will improve that peak power. A completely different angle is efficiency, if you're sucking molasses through a little straw or a big straw. It sure sucks to have a little straw and that excessive suckage is extra work. Extra work requires more fuel. The reason the K&N doesn't give the gains it claims is that the stock air filter is usually sufficient on a stock engine. If you go and improve the exhaust (the muffler is a restriction by the same principle) then you may have more of a need for a better air filter. [/QUOTE]
