I did feel some extra power (5 extra horse power), but not 15-20 as then state at some websites.

For $180 bucks it not really worth the trouble or them money. I kind of felt that my car was running rich..so be advised and make sure this is the product for you

I heard about all this intakes, that give more horsepower and fuel efficient and the noise (hissing noise) and faster responce from the car

adds a much more masculine sound to the car, increases horsepower (notably acceleration), and adds a nice aftermarket under the hood

none so far

I've been using the K&N stock replacement filters for a few months now, and I thought about trying their intake kits. WOW! what a product for the money! adds acceleration and power; and the sound... my goodness! makes the car sound much more powerful. Its easy to install (only problem i had was tryin to get the stock system out).Plus, it adds a nice aftermarket look under the hood. By the way, I am using it in the short ram configuration and I chose the polished finish.

sound at mid RPMs, horsepower increases as promised by K&N, looks (its small, but shiny)

install... i wouldnt have wanted to do this myself

Cant review its longevity because it's been recently put in, but so far so great.... engine roars now when revved above 3000 rpms... it basically sounds loud when you want it to and normal when you don't.... i didnt get the intake for the better gas mileage, but it does improve it a fair amount (2-3 mpg) great part, not tooo much of a HP gain, but definitely what the dynos on the website promise (5.7 HP) ive never used K&N before, so i hope this thing lasts in an import... we'll see....

- Awesome sound. (On the STi at least) - Quality materials. - Nice mid range and top end gains.

With the current design, the MAF wire is just too short. Instructions can be a tad more specific.

Great kit for the STi. Doesn't change the A/F ratio or causes any CEL. The most amazing sound when the turbo starts spooling and even more amazing when you shift, the bypass valve is really loud, everyone around is wondering what's that sound :-) 12 RWHP and 10 RWTQ dyno tested and proven. If you got an STi and considering an intake, this is the one to get. I believe it is also offered for the Lancer Evo and a few other cars.

Good improvement at high rpm, nice low pitched roar (for a honda). Easy install 20min. + 15min ride to parts store (aside from short hose)

One of the replacement hoses was too short and didn't fit well, but $2 at the parts store took care of that. Also, the mounting bracket is akward, the intake is held to the bracket by a hose clamp... stupid idea, but it works. It also pulls in air from behind the radiator. I'm gonna rig up a system to pull air from the stock airbox inlets. I don't think this thing would do much without exhaust done as well.

I installed this 1 week after cat-back exhaust. It seems to have helped with the low back-pressure caused by the cat-back. Noticable improvement above 4000, no low-end improvement. I love the sound, but it is loud. Install was EZ, but replacement hose from the valve cover to intake was too short.

I had a K&N on my old 300zx, it was worthless, but I didn't have a cat-back on that car

makes a great scream at high rpm's

just never added the horsepower i wanted and exhaust woulda sounded better for 600.

Seemed like a quick fix for power, the power was barely noticable.... the sound was awesome.... just purrs at 5500-6200 RPM's

great performance and sound

difficult installation

immediately noticed a huge improvement in performance....much better sound

Nice performance/sound would have looked nice if it weren't so scratched. Filter looks awesome with chrome cap.

Only get half of the needed vacuum lines came with scratches all over it Assembly is a pain. Chuck the bracket as soon as you see it because all it does is shove the intake against the battery and scratch it nicely.

I almost didn't put this intake in because my pretty red intake had some small scratches in it but that was no big deal. I open it and it has no tools. oh well I have enough to get the job done. I start to read the directions. Directions SUCK ROYAL BALLS. maybe they aren't that bad since I was going from an Akimoto intake to the typhoon and the directions were for stock replacement. Then comes the bracket. THE STUPID BRACKET DIDN'T FIT AND IN AN EFFORT TO FIT THE INTAKE IN I SCRATCHED MY PRETTY RED INTAKE A WHOLE LOT MORE. We finally chucked it and the rest was w/o directions because its logical to put things in different spots. It does look a bit weird with new black vacuum hoses to the old yellow ones from akimoto because there was supposed to be stock there. The actual performance is awesome though. its fairly quiet at first but when you let the car go it sounds awesome and you're driving a rocket.

Akimoto. Same shape, size, and had a k&n filter. It needed raplacement badly because there were dents in it and the filter was deteriorating (I had duct tape over the deteriorating parts). when we too

Sound, highend

slight loss low end

Installed on 02 Si sounds great, power feels stronger about 4000RPM up, slightly flatter below. Did I mention sounds great. Lots of room under hood now.
