No HP gain for sure. I bought the K&N b/c I wanted better MPG's. I did start getting better MPG's, but it's questionable as to whether or not it was due to the engine fully breaking in, me learning to drive better, the air filter, my synthetic oil, or a combination of all. K&N will allow more air to flow through than the paper OEM filters, but with more airflow means more chance for contaminants to fly through too. But just because there's more chance doesn't necessarily mean that it will. Didn't stop me from putting them onto my last two cars.

I agree. Even if it was The Stig vs. The Stig I don't think there would be a significant difference.
