3. No significant power gain to notice huge difference. Mostly feeling #2 above.
4. No engine check light, no hissing or any type of air leak sound, so all seem good so far.
5. I am thinking the CF elbow and the airbox lid will add more to the sound effect as the materials will play some into it.
6. Overall, great fitment and excellent build quality.

Many thanks for managing the GB!!!
Thanks for the feedback! The painted logo looks right at home on the plenum.. got me thinking if I should've gotten that option instead

Will keep you guys posted on the elbow/covers
