Install was dirt simple. . . looks pretty decent. . . seems to seal against the hood blanket well. . .
BUT
As far as I can tell, it does 2 things: [a] makes the car MUCH louder and [b] makes the car noticeably slower than just the panel K&N filter. I don't have the gear to test it, but I'm thinking it's probably either getting choked a bit or taking in higher temp air. In either case, when you first run it, it takes the computer quite a while to figure it out and get happy. . . but even when it's happy, it's more sluggish.
I'm gonna give it another day or so, but if it doesn't pick up quick, out it comes.
