You won't notice a difference in terms of power. Though the K&N can flow at a higher rate, the stock airbox is still the restriction. The advantage the K&N can offer is that it doesn't clog like a paper filter; it actually filters better the dirtier it gets. This means you'll get more consistent performance over time and it also means you won't have to service the filter as often.
