yes my front bumper is in need of paint --- but besides that ... k&n drop in in the stock airbox with cold air coming straight into it via the front of vehicle (rammed air so to speak), & a friend of mine with an injen air intake would always beat me by about 1/4 to 1/2 a car b4 i did this ... i shit you not it is now the other way around. he paid $180.00 to get under the hood air, i paid $40.00 for the k&n & less than 10 for the aluminum 3" dryer hookup pipe & used a plastic piece from my yard blower that i will never use anyway. cheap or whatever you may call it, the power increase IS noticable & proven & it DOES give off a nice growl under the hood
