Yes, that is true... I have both, K&N filter system and Flowmaster exhaust system in my Ram truck with 5.7 Hemi and also notice a it gets to 75 miles in a hurry. If I'm not watching my speedometer, I also notice I'm going faster than expected with ease. My Ford Edge with 295 hp doesn't come close for comparison. (It is much lighter than the truck) I drove a stock Ram with same engine it didn't have that same kick mine does. Past experiences with five Corvettes I had over the years,

I've noticed nice gains of power improving the intake & exhaust system.
So yes, if you improve both the intake and exhaust, you can expect 25 - 50 hp gains! KN is very popular with the musclecar crowd.
