To feel the minor difference that the filter makes, you need to know where to look for it. The car needs to be driven in manual mode instead of letting the automtic transmission shift. Besides the obvious gain in WOT, the gain will show up in the snappiness in transition between throttle positions. Example: going from 10% throttle in cruising to 70% throttle, the car will feel snappier in response vs the old restrictive filter. You'll also need to do this when holding a gear at an RPM, say 4000k. The automatic transmission shifts too early during normal driving conditions to let the driver feel much of a difference after the minor gain in HP. The gain in HP in WOT is not too much either because of the % gain in HP is so small in relation to how much the car have already. a 3 HP gain on a 150 hp car is a lot in ration vs a 3 HP gain in a 555 HP beast
. But extra HP is extra HP. I'll take it any way I can
