There was a big power gain, and I'm sure that there quote of power increase is directly from the dyno of my car. So, I guess, under there tuning of the fuel and such, there was an 18hp gain. I haven't had any problems at all with the filter and I have only cleaned it once. That was after my car sat in the body shop for 6 weeks and the engine compartment was filled with gunk.

Picture of it newly installed:





Cheers!

I dont think cai gives you 18 hp.

With exhaust, and cai you might get 6-8 hp, 18 is a little steep. (marketing ploy)
