I just installed one on my '04 V6. In terms of hp, Mike is right, not much for a V6....2-4 hp if you're lucky. I do feel an extra bit of jump off the line, but that's about it.....kinda similar to the quick throttle response you get when you first start up after a cold night (after all, it is cold air induction!). I bought a no-name brand off of eBay for about $30 + s&h, and in my opinion, it was well worth it. That extra jump is worth $30 and it also looks nice in the engine bay. Spending $100+ on a brand-name intake just won't make sense unless you're planning to add a few more mods to the air flow system (eg. new dual exhaust system or something). Even then, you may be paying too much for a 5-6 hp increase. So if you want my advice, go for a cheap eBay one.....you probably won't get the performance you want, but hey, at least it looks nice!
Oh and as far as installation is concerned.....nothing to it. Go to
