57-1509 is for the '97-99 models
57-1517 is for the '00+ models (Cruise Control Bracket)

They now come with a ring and support rod that keeps the intake from "flopping
around" which prevents the cracking of the airhat. (But don't overtighten it
either...i've seen too many pictures of folks who wrenched down the airhat nut
and cracked the plastic.)

MPG depends on your foot...performance gains ae very noticeable. Stuff a V8 TB
on the V6 while you're at it...you won't be disappointed. ;)
