I had one before I bought the conplete aftermarket intake ......idk about any power gains but the car definateky seemed to "breathe" better and I got a few more miles out of it for high hell I still have the damn thing it's sitting in a counter in my kitchen I didn't want to get rid of it because it works but I say even if it doesn't change anything it's worth the money because you'll have to buy another one just rinse it off avd let it dry

I have one that was in my 2010, I swapped back in the paper one before trading it in, only has had about 18k miles through it although I feel dumb putting an "old" filter in a new car. I believe the part is identical on the 2013s, the airbox looks exactly the same as the 2010. I guess I could wash it out and get the recharge kit and drop it in there. Just not sure if they really do all that much, with all of the emphasis on fuel economy these days you'd think the OEM filters would also breathe better now if that is really a place to get more power and efficiency out of the engine.

They probably are better in the 13s than they were in the 10s but it's still something that u would have to replace I saw a difference but I also have 70,000 miles in my car and idk who had the car before me or how they treated it.... It's worth it to me
