The K+N might be a waste of money because modern engines meter the air that comes in and provide the appropriate amount of fuel. If you are using a recommended air filter versus the KN, you may notice little difference. The change is when you calibrate the car to accept the changes like a KN, cold air, exhaust, etc. This is where blackbear comes in and it worked well on my tahoe. Put on a Volant Cold Air and Corsa exhaust. I then had them tune the engine with these mods using premium fuel. It really pepped it up.

K&N=waste of money. Your are trying to get better fuel mileage. If you do all the K&N and CAI and exhaust and tune then it will be peppy enough you will not be able to keep your foot out of it.

For better mileage make sure tires are aired to proper pressure, alignment is in spec, accel lightly from stops and while building speed, use the correct fuel grade, remove anything you carry around that you really don't need to carry, keep ignition components up to snuff.

I agree that mpgs are saved by the moat basics like tire pressure. In chicago (where the temp is all over the place) the changing humidity makes the tire pressure change all the time. Make sure the car sits for couple hours first. Digital pressure guages help a lot. I bought a k&N and the biggest difference was the increase in engine noise In the cab. Some guys might like that but I quickly put back on the factory housing. I got enough rattles to track down as is. I just use the k&n drop in filter that's reusable. I like it quiet.

This is probably the best use of the K&N because it saves you money in the long run since you'll never have to replace it.

Expect 0-10hp gain with aftermarket CAI but it can help improve the sound of your ride.
