Well the intake just came today well i guess now it is yesterday i ordered it on sunday from 4filters.com and it came here today which is wednesday also with free shipping. Me and a buddy installed it in just over 30 minutes it was pretty easy except for putting that stupid stripping on the heat shield and i was scared to cut the head of the tube you have to, but it wasnt to bad. The car fired right up and now has a deeper meaner growl to it. The pinging that i had with my exhaust is now gone! I took it out to a lil side road to test out the power. Off the line i didnt notice any difference although the throttle is much much more responsice. The biggest gain in power as far as i could tell was when i was cruising at 30-40 just smashing it the car seemed to take off alot harder than it did b4. Hope this helped you guys out. Post any questions you got and ill see if i can help. Pics to follow in the next 2 days.

Performance-7/10
Sound-10/10
Ease of Install-8/10

If it is it can't be much better unless they make their own inlet tube to go along with it. Theres only so much you can do for a CAI, that on a K&N the car is probably getting all the air it can get with ease, and that AFE may not produce any much more benefit that you'd notice on a N/A vehicle.

This is where you have to cut off the end of the hose which was a lil scary

Excelent Tyler. Thank you for the pictures. I like the price, but the MMR CAI sure does make the underhood look a little nicer. not sure if it's worth the extra cash though. Now I have to make a decision.

Since there is required cutting is it still possible to get it back to stock?

well its only 2 bolts to take off the heat shield so its easy to take the intake out if you ever need to!
