This is a nice item that's a bit overpriced. The total order was $268.11, shipped to my door. I'm pretty sure I can make one for about $25 out of Home Depot stuff, but I wanted a clean looking CARB approved intake that's guaranteed to produce some HP.
Installation was easy and simple. It took me about 30-45 min to install the intake. The instructions RB provided were good. It made my engine roomier and easier to clean. Delivery was lightning quick and came in a nice little box.
Performance-wise, on a full tank of gas I only felt the engine breathing better around 3500 + rpm's to redline. It's nothing dramatic like a turbo, however, it's better than the stock intake setup. With a half tank of gas or less the performance gain is more obvious as long as you take it up to 5600+rpm.
I like the sound effects, the hissing on idle, and the throaty sound on WOT. I had the RacingBeat intake on my 92 miata, many years ago, and I felt more HP kick having the same intake on the bigger 1.8L . Would I buy this again for the same price? Yes
