Should work just fine. I put one in and ive had no problems. When you open the air box you will see a black plastic grate (snow/dirt filter) under the air filter. With a little wiggling and upward pulling it should come out pretty easily. Many people, myself included have removed it as it is fairly restrictive.

K&N
Throttle response and acceleration increased slightly, No appreciable difference in sound. Not sure about MPG as I don't usually keep track (I drive like a maniac most of the time anyway so it would be tough to tell).

But for $50 or so, I thought it was worth the upgrade.

I agree Throttle response and acceleration increased slightly, good for the price of upgrade and dont void the waranty.
