Maybe a couple....just enough for you to 'think' you felt something.
Here is a better solution in my opinion. Low restriction but also better filtering than K&N or paper.

i checked out the site, what product are u exactly talking about? do u have it and what is the HP gain? i saw something about keeping the factory air box which i like since dealer would not notice during maintainance. don't want to take a chance of voiding warrenty.

Strictly the filter ELEMENT. which is an entirely legal replacement for the paper filter. In fact, even intake systems are legal, as long as you don't replace the tuned factory tube that goes between the housing and throttle body.
If you click at the top center of the page you will see a film on the filter and how much more dirt it traps vs. paper or K&N while maintaining less restriction.
I would not expect a big HP gain. If you check the posts of Manus1980 you will see if you want 'gains' you have to make multiple changes which are accumulative.

As stated Amsoil makes a similar filter they claim is superior to K&N and stock. I had one some time ago on another car. The build quality was crap compared to the True Flow.
