I was actually part of the R&D for this intake and finally got mine during my christmas break. I was finally able to install it over the weekend.

The Box

Inside



So here is my engine bay before the install


As you can see I do have there drop-in kit which help me gain some mpg


The removal for the stock air box was to easy took about 2mins


So after getting everything ready to install I ran into a snag


The tube didnt flush well to the throttle body as you can see


But after playing around I finally got it to mate and now it sets pretty


The only concern I have is that its really close to the radiator cap



So after starting it up and checking for any leaks or loose ends I probable missed, it was time for test run.
Right off the bat I notice nice throttle response, acceleration is nice around 3k-5.5k & really throaty between those rpms but mostly after 4k it gets deep.
Afterwards I took it on the fwy later on that night and I got to say its really like high speeds. When Im doing 65 and want to accellerate it goes without a hitch.

Overall its nice product by K&N, though the install was little hard but if you wrench on cars it shouldnt be that difficult.

4dr, where did you reroute the black hose going over the intake (seen on one-before-the-last pic)? isn't supposed to go back into intake?

There's an inlet underneath the tube, the back part near the throttle body is were the sensor sets.

The problem was that there's barely any space to work with

wow looks great....really planning on getting one.....you think removing the battery would help in terms of work space and lining it up with the throttle body?

It might but for only putting on the filter.
I had to tweak the heatshield just alittle to mate with pipe.
