At the risk of sounding like 1990's Nike marketing, JUST DO IT. Noticable performance gains, sick looking engine bay, no CEL's, no stalling or fluttering, successful installation will make you feel like a big man around the garage. So much so, you'll want to get drunk and beat up some midgets.

Just kidding. Installation is cake. Get your instructions from the posts on this forum though. The included instructions aren't that great.

1-5 ratings.....

Installation (5 being easiest)- 3
Sound (5 being loud)-1
Power Feeling (5 being good)-2
Look (5 being good)- 5

So its a pretty ornament basically haha.

I agree with the other guy in terms of sound... the car is actually quieter than with the stock airbox (i actually like it!) the drone at highway speeds is pretty much gone, and there is a definite low-end power gain, i could pull in 3rd gear at low rpms with relative ease. I don't even need to downshift while cruising on the highway because 6th gear power is sufficient. I did the install without removing the bumper, and the guy who did it says this intake is the biggest hunk of crap that hes ever done... but thats his opinion i'm happy with the intake overall. But if you want a big, throaty, obnoxious roar out of the intake, look elsewhere (JWC popcharger) because you won't get it with this.

Oh, one more thing, any concerns of hydrolock or water getting into the engine should be forgotten. Ran through a car wash the other day, touched the filter, it is perfectly fine.
