I am. Keep in mind tho it does nothing for a power gain, may even take away a little power. It sounds great and looks awesome but it does have a drone sound to it at some rpm's. I don't mind it but some ppl don't like it.
At any rate, I would recommend it.
Match it with a stillen cat back and you're golden. Sounds awesome.

Well damn I really didn't know that I just dropped like 360 on a stillen intake that really sucks. Is there any benefit to it?

Not if you like extra noise.

You will never need another air filter for your car. The aggressive note is a plus for many people.

K & n drop in filter... sounds a little louder air flow a little more and at least you're not sucking up the hot air in your engine bay

I just ordered a y-pipe.
From what I understand, it will pass emissions and not throw any codes.
They must label it off-road because it eliminates the rear cat.

R2C intake, 0 performance gain.
It's okay during the winter (NE Ohio), but probably hurts performance during the warm months. I'll probably go to the OEM box in the spring.

Truth is advertising is usually stretched when words like "may" or "can" are used to promote the better efficiency of their product over what you have.

You're not the first person to post a thread similar to this, but everything that I've learned has told me that if you wanted to increase power from stock, you bought the wrong car.

I love it when people order parts, then ask questions whether it's a good mod or not.

You wanted power and were told this intake makes no power. You said you were bummed, but now you're ok with it.

Enjoy your grocery getter for what it is...and search and ask questions before you order parts...
