K&N

I havn't really noticed too much difference with the K&N as far as performance goes, however, if you take appart the air box and just use the top lid that connects to the air hose and throttle body, you get some good suction through the air filter. A K&N is worth the extra money. They are exellent quality and it's the last filter you'll have to buy for that car as they have a 1million mile warrenty. With our 2.3L, we may use that warrenty.

Well if ya gut the ugly plastic silencer between the airbox and the throttle body that will help alot also. Its almost like putting on a cold air kit without putting it in the inner fender.

Which part's the silencer?

the big part circled is the silencer...

Thanks! I never realized it was so full of baffles etc. I didn't remove the whole part but I did take out a cone shaped piece. It took me less than 5 min. It's pretty loud now and the power gain was so so. I should probably find a plain tube to put on because the air passage is kind of small.
