Great All-Around
I got and installed this a few months ago, so I had some time to check the difference with before and after.
Installation, I have to say was pretty easy over-all. Some things were not super clear, but I think that if you can function without every single detail on instructions you should be fine. It might have took me about 30 minutes for complete install, that is including running back and forth for tools that were missing or I forgot the first 50 trips.
The sound. So, it is air intake...but it does not really sound any different when sitting still. Could not tell you how many times I have had to explain that to people, but there are always those few. Once it gets warmed up and moving, really notice it after 1/4 throttle and it does roar nicely.
Power and performance. So, I did not really have any measure of it before to compare it to..so that is on me there. I will say it did seem to throw off my cruise control a little to where instead of a 1-3 MPH difference/drop it is more like 2-4, so nothing real big there but can be annoying in traffic. Might have a dash more hesitancy too while it sucks in that extra air. I got it as a relatively cheap all-around upgrade while sounding nice, it does the job.
I will say, I was not able to get my engine cover back on after, but I also did not toy with it much. I might be able to after some added adjustments, but not with the quick connecting.
