Works very well from what I understand.
Easiest to install as well.

Should be under $200
You can find used ones for much less.

Adding cold air does make a difference. I had one in the past, did have a bit of surging, but the throttle response was worth it.

The cover I had did not seal as well as the Vortex does.
