When I installed it, the only things I didn't like we're the reducing coupling going to the turbo rubs on those steel lines and I felt I needed to add a thin rubber pad to prevent wear from the hose clamp and the line. The metal air box is a tight fit but it isn't bad and it all looks and sounds great so it's definitely worth it. They sell a carbon fiber version I believe.

Easy install. All parts fit fine. Toughest part was getting the 3" hose onto the MAF sensor housing. A little lube and gravity helped.

So far I'm really digging all the induction sounds from this intake. Forget about atmospheric blow off adapters.

I also completed a low profile weatherstrip at the hood cowl that's making the sounds more audible. My previous intake was still very quiet even with the weatherstripping not there at all--Very good if you want stealth.

I finally installed my intake from ECS. The only issue I have is that it was not a perfect fitment in my case. The mounting point by the battery box was off by about half an inch from the bracket on the intake lining up. Not a big deal I will make another bracket to secure it.

Also I get some harmonics.

The heat shield was a bit tight but I thought that was necessary to ensure a good seal. The secondary breather bracket also was a bit awkward installing it but it all ended up ok. I get a whistle when I punch it though I always wonder what they could be??

The whistle is from the DV. This is a common issue with any "stage 2" intake. Can be fixed with rev D or DV+.

What do you mean by the breather bracket?

It's likely just pointed down and on the bottom side of the tubing. It's between the ecs coupling and the accordion like coupling.
