I just installed the system on my car, and it doesn't feel any faster. It defenitly looks a lot better. I wouldn't buy it if you are only looking for performance.

I have not seen an actual review of this system, but I would imagine that the performance is the same as a typical aftermarket intake.

People love to throw around the term "ram air" like it is a big deal, but truthfully, Ram Air systems are very difficult to implement properly, and even when done right the performance gains are very slight, and only at high speeds (100 MPH+).

There is a book called "Motorcycle Turbocharging, Supercharging, and Nitrous Oxide" by Haile that has a very good chapter on Ram-Air. Even though the main subject matter is motorcycles, the principles are exactly the same for any land vehicle with a piston engine.

That being said, I agree with 05GTGreen. It looks great, but I wouldn't expect a performance gain.

Yeah I believe it is mainly to make you ride look pretty sweet, any gains you would get probably wouldnt be noticed untill you where traveling at like 40mph+ and those would probably be minimal
