Yes.
you get a little more hp....a LITTLE more.
you should get better MPGs...should get more.
it will be the last air filter you buy....the LAST onefor the car.
Oh...and you should be able to hear the stock CBV which is a nice sound.

Just dont OVER OIL the filter when you clean itor you will ruin the MAF.

I have used them on all of my 11 cars I have owned, including my V70. I wouldn't use anything else. In the long run, they pay for themselves.

i was very supprised by all of your responses, over on SS they say to stay away from oiled filter in cars with Turbos.

but does it come oiled? just pop it in?

are the problems usually when the person cleans them and re-oils it themselves?

Some have problems and some dont. Me I just use a Blow gun and clean it. If it is really bad I will use a little bit of brake clean as well.

Dont be too surprised, I just didn't say anything. I go thru about three stock filters a year with a version of the RKelly intake.
