This. OP, you bought a hot air intake. It will show a power increase on the dyno when the hood is open and the fan is blowing on it. It will cost you power in the real world. It's a downgrade as the factory setup draws air from outside the engine bay. The K&N pulls hotter air from the engine compartment.
