        Definately worth it. I just got mine a couple of weeks ago for my
3.9 (Magnum) and the differences are notable. My experience is better
highway but acctually worse in town MPG (this probably go to the engines
ability to take in more air when it does not need to i.e. stopped at lights
and such.)
        I don't know much about the differences are between
Magnum/non-Magnum but I can't possibly think that the K&N is anything but
cheap gold.
        Question?? My old air filter had a outer WRAP around it. I've
never (in my limited experience) seen this elswhere. What is(was) its purpose?

I'm now at home so I've removed the Dorm info. Have a nice summer I will.
