buying a drop in is a good idea, you're supposed to change a paper one every 12-15k, I live in San antonio so its pretty dusty so then you're supposed to change it every 6,000 miles. With a k&n you can clean it every so often so you DNR have to stretch out the length of your paper filter and lose air flow with a clogged paper one.

As for the CAI you really won't see a diff untill you change your exhaust.
If you look in k&n's website and pull up your hp gain with a CAI its only like 8hp and it only out does your stock once you get passed 3k rpm.

Yes, dual exhaust is another mod i would love to do this year along with tow mirrors, leather seats, running boards, bug deflector, new Bridgestone tires for those 20" rims, and replacing my stock HU. That's all I can think of now. lol

Hi Justin,

I used one before I bought my 63 series K&N CAI and it did boost my mpg slightly. PM me if you still want one as mine is in my garage taking up space. The price is more than right. I think I even have the oil for it but I have to find it first.

I just put a drop-in K&N in my truck. Can't say that I notice a huge improvement in MPG's but it seems like there is a slight improvement. However my old paper filter was horribly dirty.
