I like mine. I got the black plastic one, not the cf. It was kind of hard to get the airbridge connected to the filter, but finally got it together. I liked the fact that it came with its own radiator shroud so you dont have to cut a hole in your original one. That way you can put it back to stock easily.....that is if you can remember how the stock parts go.

I have the plastic one also.....air bridge can be a little trying, but other than that its great. just got done pulling it and cleaning and oiling the filter...about 45 min to pull the whole assembly, was quicker going back in. Performance is great, no problems at all, I don't have any graphs or anything,but good SOTP gains in HP and torque over stock.

I also have the black one. It is no longer on the car but i did like it. Will be putting it up for sale with a Carbon Fiber 405 hp power duct soon if anyone is interested. Put a TTI twin turbo kit in my car recently. Also a Predator programer will be up for sale that is for my 2004 roadster.
