if I buy a K&N replacement filter, and go install it in my car today - then go for a drive, am I going to notice *anything* at all - sound, performance, ???

I didn't notice a bump in sound or hp when I installed my BMC which is just an expensive K&N. These filters only add maybe 2-3 hp so it's not enough to feel on its own. The main benefit of these cotton gauze style filters is that they are reusable and washable....a couple extra hp is just a bonus.

Honestly, you'll never feel any increase (if there is any) in HP from an air filter.

If you install something like the Evo Hi Flo (which I have), you will immediately notice an intoxicating howl every time you hit the throttle...worth the price of admission all day long!

Isn't that what's it's all about?

I would consider the EVO if it wasn't such a PITA to install and tearing apart the stock instake wasn't necessary.
