First off I know there were questions about how well the filter was held in place. This filter is not going anywhere. The fit is tight and two tabs on each side of the Air Box must be removed in order to slid the filter out. See pics.
Everything in the kit is of high quality and well built. Install took maybe 45 mins and would have been faster if I did not take the air box apart and take so many pics. I really did not use the supplied instructions. The install is so easy and very straight forward that anyone should be able to do it. I did need to trim the plastic line about an inch but that was all that I need to change.
Got to take the car out and wow. First thing I noticed when leaving the drive way was that the car seemed more responsive. The sound is great, as you will see in the videos below. As for power There is a nice increase in power over stock and to me I feel like there is a little more there compared to the OPG CAI that I first had.
