Looks good but many quality issues

From the day it arrived I had issues like missing parts. A few weeks later they send the missing part. I haven't driven the car more than 100 miles and the air filter rubber has cracked where the retaining metal goes. I really don't understand why this is happening.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Protection

Great addition. best in filters

I installed this inlet on my 2009 G8 and what a difference. You will immediately feel and hear the difference. The best part is that it was easy to install. Great addition at a great price. I can imagine things, but I also seem to have slightly improved gas mileage. If possible, put one of these in your car. It's worth it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No instructions

Completely changed the sound.

Only installed a few days but so far I'm happy with the results. The most noticeable difference after installation was the sound. It really gave my car that vicious V8 sound, it didn't have a "stock exhaust" which I didn't expect such a drastic difference. It's really hard to tell if I'm actually getting more power from it, but I think so lol.

Pros
  • GOLS certification
Cons
  • Some little things

Excellent purchase! for filter

The instructions are crappy but fitting it is pretty easy. You just have to use common sense when putting everything together. There are no installation issues, it looks great under the hood. Makes a strange whistling noise that doesn't sound very good. Other than that it's fantastic and I would definitely recommend it. You won't find a better deal for the price. Ignore my dirty engine bay. Rschunimagu. The photo was taken after the trip.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Best parts for the money

This was actually very easy to install and ended up fitting perfectly. The instructions aren't particularly helpful, but it's very easy to look at the picture to make sure it's in place correctly. And it actually really opened it up, once you started using it I was impressed because I wasn't expecting much in terms of improvement. I originally bought this CAI to tidy up a bit more under the hood. It just looks cleaner. But it's definitely worth the money

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Has imperfections

Fuel consumption and productivity increase!

I am using this on a Pontiac G8 GT and it works great. All hardware is included and I was very pleased to see that all parts are of good quality. I would give 5 stars IF the included instructions were for the kit I bought but it wasn't so I had to assemble it without instructions which isn't very difficult. If anyone wants to buy this air intake, you can hear it in the cockpit every time you accelerate quickly or hit the gas more than accidentally. So if you're looking for a quiet air intake…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Updates available

The metal wall is strong and holds the heat well

Better quality than expected. The metal partition is not made of thin sheet metal, it is durable and protects well from heat. The aluminum tube is well polished, although mine was a bit worn and in a noticeable spot. Can be polished but my hood stays closed so who cares right? Couplings and clamps are of good quality and look good. I used 87 octane with rotofab Superchips Tune. I can't report a performance gain without a dyno as the GT is a strong stock although it sounds good when beaten…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Some issues

INCREDIBLE sound! Just unbelievable!

OH. GOD SOUND! Okay, so yes, there is a slight increase in power, maybe 5-10 hp, so not very noticeable. But the SOUND is like nothing I've ever heard! Sounds so incredibly good that I can completely rule out the improvement in fuel economy. It just makes you want to bang it on the floor. I seriously can't stop smiling when I step on the gas now. Yes, it increases performance, yes, and it was easy to install too. It looks fantastic and everything is fine, but did I mention how good my car…

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • there are nuances

Not bad for the price

As I write this, I feel like this kit is half the price of its competitors. I installed this on a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. The instructions have relatively good pictures for each step and pretty good written instructions. Unfortunately they are not relevant. The manual states that there are two holes for attaching the mounting brackets to the cold air plenum, a flexible rubber hose for the pipe that goes into the cold air plenum, and instructs to use a bolt to attach the washer fluid reservoir to…

Pros
  • nice piece
Cons
  • silent
