I think it looks awesome from an appearance perspective. It will need to be tuned. Only you can decide if the appearance is worth the $850 as opposed to $450-$600 for other CAI/Tune combos.

At the end of the day, these cars have a limit to how much more power can be made with a CAI and tune. You can try getting a CAI about 3 feet wide, mount it onto your roof and you won't get any more power than other kits already proven on the dyno. There is marketing and then there is reality. FYI, I work in marketing. You will see "gains UP TO blah blah" posted at every vendor site.

Me, I'd go with tried and true, pocket the $400 savings and put that into other mods. Just my 2 cents but only you can decide what's right for you. If you opened your hood for me and I saw that thing, I'd take notice and think it was awesome. So, for $400 more, maybe the "hey, cool" affect is worth it to you, only you know that.

Oh, was I supposed to believe that it will outperform other CAIs on the market?????????

for 1 thing i think its too expensive, you could get the same gains from JLT for 150 cheaper. but it is different.

you did notice with the WMS system you have to relocate the coolant tank, right? It's not simply plug and play like all the other ones. But it does look bad-***.
