Either way, it is a pretty good free mod
Candidly, I don't think either are really going to give you any gains that would be larger than what could be considered a testing error on a dyno (or even close there-to). Some folks do have k&n, but others believe that the cost of possible reduced particulate filtration and possible oil issues are not worth the possible benefits. Many here in the diesel section cite the Spicer report.

What's keeping you from buying the diesel? we'd welcome you to the dark side
