Has anyone ever installed one of these and if so, how did it perform?

I guess no one has purchased one?

20 + HP? Yeah... OK. That's a joke, not to mention it appears to be probably more restrictive then stock. OP, I personally would never buy that any other similar pod filter. Don't do it! Your OE stock intake is better then most.

That was the direction I was leaning in. Thanks guys. I had installed a drop in filter but I was not sure I did the right thing. Now I am😊

It has been proven that at a certain point (350whp range) the Stock airbox becomes less restrictive than an aftermarket filter setup. Do some research the Filters have only been covered a few hundred times. Cold Air Intakes do very little for turbo cars as the intercooler is going to set the temps to where they need to be. More efficient the intercooler the less benefits you'll see from cold air. DCI typically wins since it's cheap, easy and proves gains. MR5 Intake usually wins on the most possible gains as it combines the factory air box and a separate cold air path.
