    I purchased mine in Miami on Tuesday and put it on a transport truck Friday to ship if up to me in CT. :) a whole lot cheaper than it would cost in time and fuel for me to drive it up. Plus i would have had to cut my winter vacation short... NOT Happening.

    Changed my spark plugs and cleaned the MAF and throttle body trying to get rid of a loss of power problem when accelerating. Did not help at all. Im stumped, guess Ill throw some sea foam in it.

    The problem is when accelerating in 2nd and 3rd, low RPMs... give it 1/2 throttle or so (just enough for it not to shift down) As its accelerating it loses power 3 or 4 times through the power band. Just a short loss of power then its back again. almost feels like its shifting but that is not what it is.

    Stick with the stock filter.
    They're only $15, only need to be changed every 30-60k depending on conditions, they filter better than any aftermarket, and they flow more than the engine can use.
    K&N does not filter well, if not properly oiled will foul the MAF, and will result in increased oil consumption down the line from cylinder scoring.

    I replaced two Silverstar Ultras that took a poop last night on the way home. They were only a few months old and both low beams died,put a couple OEM's back in and they are working fine so far.:)
