I've been waiting a month for the K&N drop-in paper filter for the MC. I ordered it for $35 at Amazon. I'm in no rush for this marginal mod so I'll keep waiting.

If you have not experienced a decrease in mileage or engine performance, chances are your filter is fine and does not yet need cleaning. To be more specific, the filter does not require cleaning if you can still see the wire screen on the entire air filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When the screen is no longer visible some place on the filter, it is time to clean it. When used in normal paved road, street or highway conditions, our replacement air filters that fit in the factory air box should require cleaning every 50,000 miles and our large conical filters on an intake system should require cleaning every 100,000 miles. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you visually inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still visible.

Overall, I have been very happy with my ITG drop-in filter. It improved throttle response a bit, changed the sound of my car from the whining noise of before to a slightly more powerful noise, which is always good. Plus, it re-usable and fits well in the stock airbox. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with any single mod that i've done to enhance performance.

Cool. Keep us updated. How much does the sprint booster differ from just applying the sport button?

Mine MC is maual tranmission and doesn't has the sport button...So sorry I can't tell what the difference btw...
But things I know is the engine has more response, rev trend to be faster and more fun to drive...
one problem I got from the maual transmission is the frist gear is too short and lack of power in the 1000-2000rpm, sprint booster help me to solve this problem...
But yours is automatic trans, dont forget to order automatic version...
I recommend u to use it...I think this is one of the mod that u can noticeable feel when u do this mod...
