I dont have it front of me at the moment, but it is in there, look in the back under battery...or do a search on this site for SLP it has been covered in numerous areas.
That was definately your problem with your air filters.
If you keep driving your car while it is running crappy it will fix itself in about 300 miles, doing the battery disconnect thing works in under 10 miles!!!

I tried the "cone" air filter this weekend and reset my computer the same way I did for my exhaust. It seems to be a bit slower, lagging in horspower. I think I'll wait this week before I take it back off. This is the same way the car acted tha first time I installed my cone filter setup, so I'm thinking it would actually need a "tune" with an SCT or something. Just a basic computer reset isn't enough for this mod.

I have the SLP and I'm very happy. Where I live (Bosnia) noise from a car is not a problem. I have about 2000 miles on them. The only thing I don't like is the drone at about 1900 to 2300 RPM. I took a road trip recently, now I don't know if the SLP's have anything to do with this or not or maybe the computer is just jacked up so don't beat up on me. Driving at 130 KPH (80 MPH) the onboard computer said I was using 11.2 liters used per hundred kilometers. On the way back from my trip I punched it up to 200 KPH (125 MPH) for about 300 kilometers and the computer reported 12.1 liters used per hundred kilometers. How in the world can I get better gas mileage and a higher rate of speed? Perhaps I had a tailwind.

I get good gas mileage going about 80 on the highway.... about 27mpg. I have to gently touch the pedal and not be aggressive, but I average about 27 or 28 on trips. My cousin drives my car sometimes on long trips and she can only get about 24mpg... I don't understand, unless, I just know how to gently accellerate and when not to accellerate (coast).
don't forget to reset your computer if you havn't.... it will get your good gas mileage back as well.
