Hi has anyone ever had issues with this filter? Will I hear anything different when I step on the pedal? I have a 2016 EB Premium PP 100% stock. My car has 25k miles and I'm changing the stock filter for the first time.

Thanks!

That filter will be fine. And the EB can't sound much worse. So I wouldn't worry about the sound.

Just one thing when you clean it lightly oil it if you go crazy with the oil then you'll have problems.

Had one for almost 4 years, but honestly cant tell, it does sound a little healthier but dont expect much. I also have the FP tune which got rid of the horrible fake speaker sound so my experience may be different than what you get. I actually own two and then just have one ready to go when I swap since like another poster said, you want to make sure you dont over oil and give it some time to dry out after cleaning.

Just to add, got a regular k&n when first got car, fp tune came out about a year or so later, then I bought a k&n gt350 style, both times I really didnt notice much diff, a little more sound on the gt350 version of k&n since its got a bit more surface area I guess.
