I installed a K&N at the same time I installed my Euro lights, kinda like
when you change your timing belt, you change the water pump.  Major PITA
getting to the air filter.  It would have been nice if was in a different
area, but that bay is pretty filled up.

My response on the K&N in the 4000q.  I hear more air moving though at
higher RPMs (4500+), but not much else.  I put it in because of longer life
in one shot, and reusable.
