As for performance...? I cannot tell the difference. I feel no added power or pickup in any range. I know that for most the sound the intake makes may give a placebo effect on the 'butt dyno'.
I was also disappointed in the lack of supercharger whine that so many have wrote about. I barley hear the difference. That said.. It is true that before the CAI I could not hear it at all. But even now it is barley noticeable. Very little sound increase of air induction of SC Whine.
I dont want to but down Needswings and their product. There was nothing wrong with the material or engineering or instruction. I just was hoping for the roar my other autos have with their AEM intakes. I was hoping for a difference in felt power.
