Uh, make sure you change your engine air filter..

I'm embarrassed to say how long it had been, but my air filter was so dirty it was vile. There was a very noticeable power bump.

did you change it to the stock one or another brand? I was looking at the K&N air filter for my car, but K&N has the listing for pricing, but no they dont have any in stock. I can't order it for my car yet.

I changed just changed mine with a K&N ([ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N10NCO"]Amazon[/ame] has them BTW), and was surprised at how filthy it was after only about 10k. I still need to get the vacuum out there to get all of the acorns out of the box...

I just went with stock, but I'm sure if I'd gone aftermarket I could done better.

Car before last was a 3.5 Altima that I'd done a bunch of mods to (exhaust, headers, intake). In the end, I wished I'd left it all stock. I mean it was fast and all that, but the noise etc was something I just didn't care for.

My last two cars I've kept stock. If I had a Mustang or something, I'd be all over the mods .

Yes to both (the new OEM engine air filter for my Genesis as well as the cold-air filter I added to my Altima).

there should be zero effect on gas mileage. car is fuel injected not carbureted. look it up been proven over and over fuel injected cars just inject less fuel when there's an air restriction. performance yes, mileage no.
