it will depend on two things?? one is the engine that you have. and the other depends on whether you are referring to the drop in k&n filter or the FIPK . the stock drop in k&n offers very little hp improvement. maybe 2 to 3 hp on average. my gas mileage improved by about 2mpg and my engine sounds better. the biggest advantage is that you will never have to buy another filter for the life of the vehicle. the fuel injection performance kit. offers more hp gain probably 8 to 10 hp on average, but usually costs 200$ you will also have to modify your air box for the fipk. otherwise i say go go for it!!

Don't bother with the K&N air filter, it won't boost hp significantly if at all, and it might only improve fuel mileage just a bit when thay are new, whats more they do get filthy fast, pass oily dirt through that can damage your air flow sensor, so the only recourse is to wash it with the special K&N air filter cleaner, dry it for 12 Hours, then oiling it with special K&N air filter oil, every 3 months or so, depending on dusty driving conditions. All of this costs more and is way more time consuming than just using a good pleated filter that changes in minutes.

Manufactures will tell you 5hp, 8hp and even some will tell you 10hp ... an intake will help with performance but you'll never notice enough difference to make buying one worth it but if you add other parts like ( Under Drive Pulley - High Flow Cat - Cat-back Exhaust - Cam's - Nitrous - Turbo )
Cam's - Full Cold Intake - Under Drive Pulley - Cat-back Exhaust, and you'll notice a real improvement or you could just buy nitrous like the rest of us who are to poor for a turbo and be done. $550 for most kits and you get 50-75hp now divide the hp vs: how much it cost hands down nitrous is the best way to go.
Nitrous has a bad rap from retards and the F&F etc if you follow the directions and use it right you won't ever have a problem.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! You actually buy into the BOGUS notion that parts and accessories will increase your horsepower? Not true, lil' tyke! Engines produce a certain amount of horsepower and there's not a thing you can do to change it short of tinkering with the engine itself, or adding a turbocharger or supercharger to it. Changing the exhaust pipe, the air filter, the spark plugs, and making the muffler louder do NOT increase horsepower. If your car was old, and it had experienced a loss in appreciable horsepower you might be able to restore it to factory specs, but you cannot increase it beyond that.

I tried one and didn't notice any power gains. Most times I have seen a magazine dyno test one they usually came up with only 1 hp or so.

Nothing that will be noticeable - the advantage of these filters is way overrated.

You'll never notice it. Your gas mileage may improve a little.
