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.
Give it some time, the filter is definitely an improvement over the stock piece.

Dynos don't lie.
