I bought mine from the dealer for 150.00. I dont know what HP #'s it gave,
but the but dyno noticed a little more "pull", esp. around 2500-3000 rpms. I
did notice a little better gas milage (of course when driving respectfully),
so there must be somewhat of a HP gain. I just took a trip down to SW VA, on
the way down, avg 75 MPH, I saw 18 MPG. On the way back I cruised at 68 MPH
(2100 RPMs) and got 20.86 MPG. That also included driving around DC on
I495. And even on Sunday, thats a PITA! I have a 4x4 RC with 31x9.50's on
15'' rims and 3.55's. For my truck, I think a modified 68mm would be the
way to go.
HTH.
