ER95, when revving, you can hear the air sucking in (kind of the sound of a small Blow-off valve or something). When driving, you can hear a sound of air going into it, but not loud. You eventually tune it out and don't even notice a different. But if you lift off and tap the gas, you can hear that Blow-off valve sound again. Sounds pretty cool and looks super clean. For $130-150, I am extremely happy. Also, I ran into a slight misunderstanding during the install, but Spectre has a phone number that is provided on the included paperwork. I called and was speaking with a tech within 2 minutes and he talked me through it.

I would definitely recommend the kit. And I would also STRONGLY recommend cleaning out the IAC, MAF sensor, and throttle body while you're messing with the intake. My truck has 180K miles on it, and they were all three filthy.
Was your EGR valve or (the hose behind the throttle body that hooks up to the intake) making a very wierd loud obnoxious barking sort if noise through your intake?

Mine was making that sound, and I had to cut my hose into two and fit that little baffle back in between the hoses for it too stop. Ill post a picture later

Hmm, that's strange. Some sort of restriction?

It's like the baffle either have it the restriction it needed for it to stop, or t just made it quiet enough for me not to hear.

Thanks for the compliments on the looks and the cleanliness, guys!

Unfortunately, I was out of town all weekend (without my truck).. So, I haven't really been able to see what kind of MPG gains I will get yet.

Also, 03BrowningSport, I do not have what I would call a "barking" noise.. I do hear a noise of air flow, but nothing loud or obnoxious at all.
