I have one. I used it for a while. It is lots louder than stock, but not as loud as the PRM intake I have on now. It does feel a bit more powerful than stock. It is a semi tricky install, but works well. If you want one, I have mine only slightly used, with all the parts. I was thinking about using some mylar insulating wrap to keep the heat away from the intake more than the steel shield did by itself, but switched to the PRM intake and like it overall better.

Why you like the RPM better ?? more power ??

The PRM felt like it gave more power. I haven't dyno'd my car at all, so it's all butt dyno. The AFE is supposedly in process getting a CARB exemption sticker, but the PRM is quick enough to switch out that I can just stick my stock intake back on for smog checks.
