I installed my intake
I wasn't expecting a huge performance improvement, and it was right of me to believe that.
It seems like 30-55mph is quicker though. Definitely less effort needed from the engine to get up to 80. Hits the speed limiter quicker. Really nothing huge, but a little improvement is good.
The sound....well...is it suppose to sound like a oversized harley? I don't mind it, I don't know if I like it a lot yet. We'll see.
Overall, I'm happy, and it was worth the $100.
Thanks Chankle for giving me that website, they're good people. I don't have the website anymore so i can't post their link.

Butt dyno is always wrong though. Your times probably improved about .1 second - WOWIE!
INtakes give you about 1-5hp MAX. You can feel the same difference if you take out your CDs

But sometimes you can notice it, even if it's just throttle response.

Honestly you're right.
And I'll never gut out my car to save weight. I like the interior of my car, and I didn't buy it to be a model T. I bought it to get me from point a to point b comfortably. This is just a little extra fun to keep it from being so boring.
