Default Cold Air System Question

Has anyone here purchased and installed the Cold Air System, BPP Vortex Rammer that I see available from Eckler's? This product has peaked my interest but I would like to hear from others who have experience with it.

Is it difficult to install? Is the performance increase noticable? Any issues/concerns you know of with this product? Is the system complete or will I have to purchase any other parts to make it work?

I appreciate any and all input.

Mark

I had this system on my previous C5. Nothing wrong with it, it works well. However, on my present C5 Z06 I have the Callaway Honker. By the time you buy the intake and the air bridge and the couplers you will be into the Honker price anyway. The Honker is a first class intake, the best quality out there. It fits great, is about the same effort to install, produces excellent hp numbers and is much easier to service the filter. Plus, it's 50-state legal. That's my story.

Striper - thanks for the info/feedback. I'll look into the Honker as well.
