Just installed K&N filters..
Wow, what a difference that a simple filter change can do. I have an 08' base which I recently purchased almost 2 weeks ago. Ever since I've got the car the car drives choppy and the engine feels rough. For a while I was thinking it was the transmission with all the whine and stuff. But after I changed to the K&N filters the car now runs alot smoother, no more harsh rides(jerking),whinning, and ocassional stall outs.... And did I mention the freakin sales man lied to me about how he needed to keep the car so he can change the rear brake pads and air filters. Well, come to find out it was never changed because when I pulled the old filter out, the s@#* looked like hell! Man, I wanted to go back and punch that dude in the face. Yep, that's pretty much what I wanted to share and yea the car feels like it has quicker response and slightly more pull up top.

You will find that the people on this forum are extremely opinionated. You will undoubtedly hear about how you don't get any gains from an intake, how K&N has holes in it or some crap, and how it ultimately makes your engine dirtier. You will also hear all of this and more from people who apparently know more than even you do about your own experience and can tell you whether or not your personal experience ever happened. Not surprisingly, it's more often than not going to be coming from people who have, ironically, nearly zero firsthand experience about what they're talking about.
Ultimately though, you'll get a whole lot of contradictory crap from multiple people and have the hardest time in the world actually finding any of said crap being backed up by solid evidence or hard data - the trolls don't like that sort of thing. No. In fact, they would much rather clown around and say completely unsubstantiated things that are completely unhelpful to you. It's more fun that way, I guess.
As far as your personal experience, that's awesome that you feel gains. I wonder how much of it is the intake modification and how much of it is simply the removal of a dirty filter. Either way, it's great that you're enjoying it. It might not hurt, since it hasn't been very long, to take the filter back to the guy who "cleaned it" for you, and ... ask him a few questions.

Something I found on the internet on filters
Interesting reading. My disclaimer is that the tester did not test in a closed (lab) environment. One filter could have been tested on a different/"dirtier" day than the others. Chime in on this if you can.
