Underwhelming Emission System Upgrade

It's hard to see any significant improvement in my cars performance after installing this product.As an automotive enthusiast, i had high hopes for this intake system, but thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can say I'm disappointed. The installation process wasn't seamless either, and the instructions were unclear at times. The only upside is that the product looks polished and sleek under the hood.

Pros
  • Increases horsepower and torque
Cons
  • Installation requires some expertise and may take several hours

Pros
  • Air filter lasts up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed (depending on driving conditions)
Cons
  • I will add later
