and from everything I have read, that is true ( above quote)...no big power gains,,just a washable filter....and you can get a K&N drop in for the stock box if that is what you want...a washable filter.. the only reason I went with the spectre is 1) it was given to me from a person who wanted to go a different brand ( thank you rockrat) 2) like said above to clean up the engine bay and get that big plastic box off the top of my engine.
you can get rid of that plastic box with a simple pipe from an exhaust shop and keep the rest stock you can find threads on that....
there has been lots of debate/threads on the value of that box and cold air systems on these motors. I can not attribute power gains or mpg gains to those systems....as I did a free flow borla muffler, cleaned up my throttle body and installed the TRD open gasket and a full tune up with wires at the time...and at the time it was a newish rig for me....so hard to say what if any increases I can account to one thing.
after installing my TRD gaskets and decals. trd decals help the most....I did get 50 more hp and now get 30mpg......in my dreams
