Either way I didn't notice any massive, or even measurable power gains. If anything this is probably not going to render any gains, but it doesn't hurt anything so why not give her a try?
I believed someone here have posted and claimed that there is a slight but not massive improvement or gain. But will do a search. Again, if you will notice the charcoal filter is very restrictive, you will be amazed of how much choking our intake is suffering for more air.
