Install: 30-1hr (Removing Intake Resonator) Cost: $0 Pro: Less intake restriction, CAI preparation Cons: N/A You can remove your stock intake\’s resonator to produce a stronger growl. This does not exactly make any power, but it prepares you for the stage 2 modifications. If you plan to just replace your stock air panel filter, then I advise you to do this step as well. You don’t need the intake resonator for a dealer to do engine work/diagnosis.Install: 5-10min (remove the 4 clips on the air box, lift up, remove stock filter, replace with new) Cost: $40-60 Pros: Better mileage and engine efficiency Cons: N/A Replacing the stock paper air filter with a K&N panel filter will let the engine ingest more air than the stock filter due to the less restriction provided by the K&N. Note: If you would like to go with an aftermarket later on, it would be advisable to skip this step of your modification process.
