thanks man.. Thought I was done too, but when you're handed a super great deal on parts it'd be rude to turn them down.

Yes, I felt a dramatic change.. the difference can be heard a bit too,if you turn everything off. no a/c no radio... you can hear the air getting sucked up. Maybe that's how the green filters work vs the K&N's.
