I second that. One thing I am wondering about this intake, though, is that it seems VERY loud from the video...a lot louder than the Injen and Stillen intakes (from the other videos I've seen).

Anyone know if this intake is actually louder than the long-tube style intakes?

Air Filtration Test

Summary
Air Flow
"That means that the worst filter in this test only caused a pressure drop of 0.07 psi. In my opinion, this means that if you are picking an air filter based on performance, you probably aren't doing your car any favors. For the record, the K&N was the best flowing filter. Of the 3 types of media tested, the cotton gauze type filters flow best. There are other brands besides K&N for sale, of which most are probably made by K&N for resellers. Foam air filters flowed marginally better than paper."

Filtration
"Each test filter was used in the same car, on the same roads for 500 miles. The darker deposits indicate poorer filtration, and lighter ones better filtration. That said, both the cotton gauze type (K&N) and foam filters (Amsoil & Jackson Racing) showed the same levels of filtration. Both performed poorly compared to the fiberous or paper filters (Napa, Baldwin, and Mazda)."

Did anyone suggest just running a tap through the bolt holes? my thoughts on a 4 dollar tool from a hardware store that could have saved you 2 hours
