Installed mine the other day. Instal was easy only took me two hours. I can sort of hear the intake when i gun it, but my exhaust overpowers most things in the cabin as well. It pulls a bit harder but im almost fully bolted on, so i need to get a tune first (which i am on july 29th)

The Intake is beautiful under the hood and even from the front of the car. When driving down the road there is a noticable diffrence from before the intake. There are no rattles and no cutting at all. It is a fairly straight forward install.
Problems..... At least on my kit it seems that the coupling that goes through the frame is too big on the engine side as there is a noticable gap(maybe a half inch or more) around the pipe. I contacted the vendor who I purchased the kit from and asked in the threads if anyone else is having this issue or not. I am not sure if my is an isolated case or not. However, regardless of what happens I will keep everyone posted.

btw for anyone looking to order these, I just bought the last one in stock from AdvanceSpeedShop.com - Performance Auto Parts and Accessories for Domestic and Import Vehicles! - for $343, nice and knowledgeable guys as well. Be sure to tell him you're from this forum, potential group buy discounts in the future!
He said his distributor still had at least 5 that were ready to ship. When I talked to AFE yesterday wait time was about 4 weeks with 40 something units on back order.
