I'm loving these quotes from the ad....

The sound of the engine is muscular and felt antagonistic straight from the hood. It has a different effect on individual engine; mostly move towards the positive side.

Actaully it will probably work as good as any other CAI out there. The stock air box is a restirction, and if you look in a stock elbow it strinks way down between the ABS module and Rad. shroud.

The name brands once have a plate to seal the air filter out of the hot engine bay, but that can be from a sheet of tin and a few screws.

Plus for $50 it will look nicer then Home Depo ones built out of PVC.

Even the Lingenfelter is pretty cheap and just as good. All the intakes are the same, just depends on how much money you want to spend.

yeah but what they are saying is it stays under the hood and doesn't go through the driver fender area to get the "colder" air

So it's really just a mass air intake, not a cold air intake.....should still help though.
