First impressions, idles perfectly like stock, low rpm response from idle is better than stock. Very responsive and makes a nice WOOSH suction sound when you tap the gas. At WOT it makes this loud and very distinctive and very audibly intoxicating BOXER RUMBLE with a kinda metallic frequency to it. It's very unique and I believe the piping is what gives it the sweet noise.

After the engine was warm I beat the piss out of it down 5 consecutive onramps doing 1st-2nd-3rd gear WOT pulls and quickly became addicted to that noise and the power it made above the stock intake. The car just pulls harder to redline and I can really feel the difference the lower intake temps give. With a stage 2 tune I'm sure it would be nuts!

I'm very happy with the quality, fit and finish, and the added power from the Vigilant CAI and most importantly I now have plenty of room to run oil cooler lines from a sandwich plate, so it's a win-win!

We are bros, I too have his intake, only in blue! Love the noise and when i get a tune it will be magnificent.
