I was back and forth between this and K&n and went with this based on the 12 horse power gain and a friends recommendation. I don’t notice much difference except I hear my turbo a little more in first and second gear. I changed my spark plugs as I had a cylinder miss and I may need to also replace coil packs and maybe then I may notice the 12 extra horses so with that said the gain could be noticeable but for me not yet. Install was a breeze. Just over an hour to remove old and install new. Instructions were easy for my fourteen year old son to follow we had it done pretty easy. Also I really like this system as it is the only one I found that actually utilized the hood scoop to get cold air directly to the cone! The finished look is really clean and sleek, I really like how it looks when I open the hood (bonnet) .
