ya i have one bought it for 100 bucks on sale shipped. The actual filter is garbage though i replaced it with an aem dryflow filter. As for the intake itself good for the money seemed to make the most difference in power in the low to midrange.

I installed mine 2 months ago and havnt had any problems. As far as power, its an intake ...Maybe a slight increase in throttle response but don't expect any significant power gains. The biggest thing I noticed and liked was the throaty sound it gave my engine.

Overall it seems to be a decent product, much cheaper than a K/N.

You cant take credit for my work, I think you broke a man law. UPDATED: This picture took about an hour to do, didn't increase fuel mileage, did give a slight increase in throttle response.

You totally stole my picture!!! Haha, no big deal but cmon man...

Hmmmm, I think you tried to pull a fast one, its all good though.

I personally don't see how you could do this in 10 minutes. Removing the stock air intake takes 5-10 minutes alone. Maybe its just me though, im very careful when there are sensors involved.

My biggest issue/complaint is the fitment. I had a bitch of a time clamping everything together, and where the sensor plug ins are located were kind of a stretch, had to put a little more strain on the wires than I liked.

Other than that, no problems encountered so far.
