oh I sure did!! It is very noticeable and I wish I did it sooner! Only thing is that it is high end power, like 3k and over. I just wish I could do something that would give me low end
But it still costs so little and gives so much lol it was about $60 total for me, found a sweet deal on ebay way bigger difference than a K&N!

but yea, low end is nicer, especially on my oversize tires.
