Hi there,

I have this filter installed and am very happy with it! It's not oil based so you don't have to worry about fouling your MAF's and recleaning them!

I don't think I felt any improvement in performance, but it certainly made my car sound different. Watch this video when I am revving it in the beginning, everybody was asking me if I had a turbo installed LOL!

prolly not a huge performance gain,but freeing up a little more air into the motor is a good place to start.and gain a little more performance sound, im prolly going to just do this filter and some elec exh cutouts for once in a while sound and power boost

@designo Hey there. Do you happen to recall which model number of the TOMS air filter you ordered for your 460?
Nobody has the 460 on the compatibility list, but I did some research and ordered this one, guess we'll see if its the correct one once it arrives. https://www.apexi-usa.com/products/t...pr_seq=uniform
