Seems odd the guy starting this thread hasn't jumped back in. Oh well.
As far as K&n's, no they don't really do anything for performance, or it's so minimal it wouldn't be noticable, but it does make it breath a little better and actually, to my ear, when I change the stocks out..........it sounded better.
As far as the tune, 24 hp (claimed by Euro) for $300 is pretty damn good value. Yes, I got the tune on sale. If you don't then the value is diminished but let's just say it's the easier most cost effective mod you can do and I do notice a difference in response / quickness etc. (I did a write up on my experience in the N/A Performance Sale thread back in the summer). You don't have to install, unbolt, move, drain, etc. All you have to do is plug er in and let them do the software mod. Anyway, IMHO, it's well worth it.
