remove the silencer, add a kn, and be done.

Unless you want the bling. They are not worth any real power.

like he said or unless you are forced induction and need rigid plumbing to sustain massive amounts of air, k&n, pull the silencer and call it good

just unbolt the stock air box, and it will pop off. Takes less than 1 minute to do.

You'll gain with a smooth pipe to the throttle body vs the flutted rubber one. Smoother air is better.

thats great, still doesn't add enough power to be worth spending money on it.
