Hey Guys,

Just installed my Filter Charger last night. It was easy enough to install, but K&N shorted me one of the required hoses. A quick trip to Auto Parts got me a replacement hose for about $ 1.00. First time I revved it up, I knew something was different. It sounds like I added a blower and a different exhaust, but only when your foot is in the gas. It definitely has more power, but BEWARE. If you want your truck to be quiet in the cab during hard acceleration, stick with the factory set up. The Filter Charger definitely changes the sound inside the truck to a "hot rod / high performance" type of sound. I like it, but wow, its a pretty big change. I'm VERY anxious to see if I get better mileage. I drive alot of highway miles on the weekend, so I was primarly interested in the possibility of increased mileage. I sure hope it helps. The best I've seen thus far (with the factory intake system) was 16.5 MPG (not bad, but room for improvement?) As a side-note, I first simply replaced the factory air filter with a K&N unit. I was extremely surprised to see my mileage DROP, rather than increase,,,,,,,,,so.....I decided to spend the bucks on the Filter Charger. I'll let you know what kind of mileage I see once I've taken it on a trip.
