Review on 69 1018TS Performance Intake Kit by James Trapkin

Other reviews correctly say that it will take some time to install. Took me about two and a half hours. There are at least three hoses that need to be replaced or removed. The instructions are fairly basic, but they are written with the assumption that you are mechanically inclined. I have no idea why the system comes with a plastic elbow valve that LIGHTLY crosses the threads. I almost cut it twice but had a hard time pasting it. Removing the stock hoses proved to be the trickiest part as they are very difficult to remove. With the exception of the plastic valve, the system is HIGH QUALITY. Once idle installed you won't notice any difference in sound or idle speed. When driving hard OMG, it makes a cute growl! Not louder than the standard IMHO, but a MUCH more refined and sporty tone. I have a 6MT so if you have a CVT I imagine it would sound a little different. All in all, it's worth the price considering the torque by almost 8 ft-lb and 5 hp and the sweetest noise your CRZ will ever make.
