John, I've read a lot about those aftermarket cold-air breathers, I call
them. It seems the ONLY car I saw a claimed improvement on was on a Jeep
product, like maybe a Cherokee of some model. Supposed-to-be unbiased tests
have been quite negative on many claims--some actually depicting them as
allowing more dirt through and NOT helping fuel mileage at all.
I decided against putting one on my personal pickup, based on Google
searches. The one I was esp. curious and inquiring about was the K & N.
I'd suggest, to be fair to the mfg., that you do a similar Google search &
then decide based on what you find. HTH & good luck, S.
