JCW with aftermarket intake

Did anyone put an aftermarket intake like K&N or anything of the sort on their fJCW. Can you comment on sound and was there anything to gain in the power department?

Thanks

No power, but many state just loss of low end power and increase of top end(but not by much). It's all about a tune and downpipe where the gains are felt. If you want sound, this is the way to go with an AEM or K&N intake.
