Review

I just got back from a test drive. I suppose the filter isn't going to be coming off. I suppose my install was done correctly.

My butt dyno isn't detecting any difference. I think the car accelerates through the rpms slightly quicker, but not anything dramatic. As far as the intake sounds, I can't really hear a difference until about pass 5000 rpms. When I step on the accelerator past the indent point, I can clearly hear the intake making a nice air-sucking sound, which I've never heard with the OEM filter.

As long as the filter stays put, I'm satisfied with the product. It was only $99 so if it isn't giving me any real performance benefit, oh well. At least I get a nice intake sound effect now.
