    Remove the K&N and wait about a tank to allow the ECM to reconfigure. The ECM sees additional air and adds additional fuel to compensate (no gained power). On a gasoline engine you need to lean out the air/fuel mix to gain power. The only drawback is more heat in the cylinders.

    My big diesel is apparently more efficient than my 5 lug. 22-25 MPG highway at 75 MPH. :p
    It also has all its emissions parts on it as well (they wont be coming off because I like warranty and the quiet). :D

    Not really, with closed loop your oxygen sensor is dictating the air/fuel mix with or without the K&N, without any wait.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
