A nice CAI sounds way better than a BOV, much more manly!

No a whole cold air intake, not just a filter! Your current intake is inclosed, by opening it up and getting a better flow of air you'll see nice gains, great sound and a small gain in MPG also.

This sounds like an issue a few people are having that havent done anything to their cars at all. I need to go find the code again, seemed to have lost it.
