This intake performs very well. The throttle response and turbo performance has increased nicely. I throttled it in 4th to about 105 on the freeway and it was pulling strong. At today's BBQ (pix in another section) some SRT4 gurus suggested it could to with a little extra rubber between the pipe and POSITIVE terminal to prevent a POSSIBLE rub thru - and a small rubber or plastic piece in front of the filter where is SLIGHTLY touches the frame.
This intake is not the ultimate in absolute precision for an aftermarket intake, but I'd like to see someone show me where every single mod or aftermarket install they've completed is surgically perfect or without any faults.

did you not get the bracket to mount up, I did but it put the end of it in a weird direction near the 90 bend at the turbo?

The only bizarre thing is a filter end weld on that doesnt' appear to hook to anything, the little "vibramount" thing doesn't appear to attach to anything but otherwise OK

My brother bought an ebay intake and he had to cut a slit in the rubber to fit it over the turbo.

Jerry is right, after all the shit thats going down, hiding FPR and stuff in the stock air box > all
