This looks nice but I question the dyno numbers. They dyno'd it with the lid off off of the airbox. The only reason why they would do this is to make more power. The limiting factor for the factory CAI, it only flows 800 cfm. The K&N sealed up will have the same limitation or cfm.

The reason why other cai's require a tune is because the mass air flow housing is larger and takes in more air. Any cai's that have the stock size mass air flow housing will not require a tune.

So would you believe the 20 HP gain stated by K&N? If so, that's pretty dang impressive without a tune and a great option for those of us that want a little more power but don't want to mess with tuning and voiding a warranty.
