Nope, but it's a nice improvement Gives the intake a little growl to match/balance the NPP exhaust note.

Installed! Sound not differences at idle, but the moment you step on the gas, you would hear the sound sucking in deep tone before your engine start to roar.

Nice upgrade but don't expect to impress anyone at stand still lol.

Default Radiator Water Hose

Does the AFE clear the radiator hose? If so, by how much?

Yes it clears, they do not touch. As an extra layer of insulation, I actually wrapped my radiator hoses to prevent them from heat soaking the intake tube.





Same with the little coolant line that runs past the MAF sensor.
