any comments of power improvement? Also does the intake sound like a dead goat? heh happened to my old car. Great performance but not a great sound.

PS: Set up looks pretty cool.

It's not the snow. It's what they use to melt it. ie... salt. I passed on a low miler 400h because with only 30k on it, it was showing signs of corrosion

Salt does truly suck. In regards to sound its a touch louder- but not loud like a mustang or coffee can on a Honda Civic with stickers.
In regards to performance, much improved however never had it put on a dyno. That being said with the stock set-up I was getting 475 km on a tank of gas, now I'm getting between 580 to 600 km per tank.

I love the sound and the much improved performance

wow.

Neat concept, **** poor workmanship IMO.

I have yet to see a welder, NOT paint over their welds. Every exhaust shop i know does this, and i live in Canada, and it holds up - hence why the paint stops from happening what is in those pics.

I ordered the intake from Weapon R which is located in California, that is not custom work. It takes about 45 minutes to install and all of the parts are included. I believe with shipping to Canada the total cost was $300 USD

Thanks for the link, hey once you get yours please post up pics of your install and review on the product. If all things work well I might buy one.

I'm assuming the pipes/exhaust used are not stainless because of all the rust? Not unless the salt is really that bad!

Salt is really that bad. During the winter its spread like grass seed.
