It is the most "Bang for Your Buck" as far as I'm concerned for HP and Torque. About 10 HP for $300. The sound is the most noticeable thing about the CAI and that is a good thing. I installed mine in about 30 minutes (I had the Torx bit). I traveled about 200 miles with the car in cruise at about 68 MPH and was getting 30.1 MPG with the top UP. After I hit the Interstate and upped the speed to 80 the MPH went down to 29.3 which is very good. If you go to KappaSphere tell Neil or Shinoo to give you a ride if its not being modified more.
