Has anyone installed this? Help or waste of money? Ease of installation? Thinking about this with a Power Coupler. I would appreciate any feedback from users. Thanks.

The coupler adds nothing to the change, just remember to get the correct Air Cleaner (97-00 or 01-04) for your car. A stock air bridge is fine for your use as well as the stock coupler, changing them without H/C change is just window dressing. If I were to add 5-9hp to my engine and took it to the drag strip under similar conditions I might see improvements in by times of a few hundreds of a second and no change in mph.
