I swear, USPS has the worse tracking. I have a lot of packages that I can't track, or they'll sit for days somewhere, and just show up. It's just about like they'll do whatever they want. If only UPS could just handle everything.

I actually like the USPS better in my area, I also use their delivery app "Informed Delivery" they show me all the mail that is being delivered daily and any packages being delivered as soon as it hits their system.

USPS sucks in our area. UPS is okay but FedEx is the best. I wish you could request a certain carrier when you order stuff.
Im not in a real hurry for the cover. Wasn’t going to install for a while anyway. I’d just like to know where it is.
Good news is that my intake should ship today or tomorrow so maybe I can do a Saturday install.

I think Amazon bailed out the USPS in our area, they deliver Saturday and Sunday, I even see the trucks as late as 8 PM floating around the neighborhood.

I have no problem with my local post office at all. It's a rural route, and my carrier has gone above and beyond a number of times. I always make sure the snow is cleared for her for a good 50 feet on either side of my box. It's just getting the packages to my local PO. A lot of them have to go through the Allen Park regional, down by Detroit. That place has a list of complaints a mile long.

Default Please excuse the dirty engine bay!

Got the intake installed. Took all of 25 minutes. Fit and finish on this kit is excellent. Very detailed instructions for the different sensor configurations between the different years.
The tone is a little deeper just idling and reving to about 4K RPM. I have not driven it yet to hear the difference under load or when turbos are spooling.
Like I said earlier, I’m not expecting any HP or TQ gains although with the tune, there may be some. I installed it more for the sound and the looks.
It utilizes the factory lower box so the original fender inlet is still functioning along with the over the radiator support snorkel.
guess time will tell!

Went for a drive and got it spoolin’! Not much of an increase in turbo noise but there is SOME. Probably my imagination but seat of the pants seems a little more responsive. Can’t hear the blow off so that’s good.
