Default Needswings Cai

Hi all,
Im just wandering as anybody own the needswings Cai for the na crossfire. I have ordered one and it will be withme hopefully soon. Athough i habe not heard a peep from then in a week, im sure it fine though just busy :-)
I just want peoples experience with them. Hows it sound, is there any diffence in perfromance although not expcting too much just from an intake.
I generally find the crissfire to be a little on the quiet side so im hoping under full throttle it will give it a more meaning full sound :-)
When i have that installed i am also going to have a remap. The company local to me say they can give me an extra 23 bhp. Has anybody had a remap and if so could you feel the difference?
One more question. When i bought the car i never use the boot. But my mate as a joke went to climb through the boot and it opened even though all the doors were locked? Please tell me this isnt normal. The alarm went off but there was no sound just the lights started flashing. Now im a little worried. I dont want people being able to steal my car by getting through the boot :-(
Anyways any advise would be great :-)

Shoot the friend. This car is for adults only. Are you sure you can handle that extra 23hp?

Just be sure to not use speedtuningusa for your tune. My SRT lost torque and horsepower after the remote tune. Not much, but I was paying for a significant gain. I got the EUROCHARGEDtune on site at Huston and it was significantly better than before the speedtuneusa remotre. speed tune would not offer any refund and I did not wnt them to play arround with my tune after eurocharged had made a lage improvement.

+1 TO THE ABOVE .... EuroCharged is the only game in town.
As to the sound, the single CAI I have on my N/A is quite a bit louder at WOT, hardly noticeable during normal driving.
Single CAI + larger cone K&N filter + EuroCharged tune + SprintBooster gave my roadster a whole new aggressive personality.
Before, when my car saw a Mustang GT, it said "who cares"
Now it says "CAT ! CAT ! - lets go get it !!!"

Zeus, it's not unreasonable to expect cutting nearly a 1/2 second off 1/4 mile times with just the NeedsWings CAI. That doesn't sound like much, but for the money, it's an incredible performance boost.

Most probably the air line that goes through the rubber boot at the top of the door on the right, if I remember correctly, is broken.
You will hear a hissing noise when you try to lock the car coming from this area. There are threads on the repair of this, just search for them.
