K&n sri

Hey guys, well the dealership broke the nipple on my intake tube that connects to the PCV hose and no one's owning up to it so I figure now's the time to switch to a K&N SRI.

I was just wondering if there's anything I should be worried about with this. Just slap 'er in there and that's it? Do I have to reset my computer or anything?

Besides it breathing a little louder will there be a perceivable power gain?

I am stock besides GMS1.

Thanks!

super easy install. took me about 45 min with a couple of heaters in between. the hardest part will be taking the stock intake tube off. where the hose clamp screw is located of the stock intake tube,kind of a biatch to get at. i had to use a stubby screw driver to loosen the hose clamp.

Nothing noticeable in the butt-dyno, although you might think it's faster just from the noise.
