Package:
Intake came in a nicely designed box (similar to a motorcycle helmet box). Content inside was extremely well engineered and packaged. The kit came with the piping itself (lightweight), a few clamps, and instructions.

Installation:
Installation was straight forward. If you can can wash your car, you can swap out this intake without a hitch. Install took a good 20 minutes since I was wiping down dust etc in between.

Performance:
If you are looking for sound increase, this intake gives you no extra "sound" whatsoever. What is does give you is a little better throttle response and less hesitation when applying the gas. To me, it just makes the car feel smoother with a constant power band compared to before it would feel like something was holding it back.

Is it worth it?
My overall opinion of the HPS Intake was that it gave me a much better response when driving. This was the only intake which allows you to keep the factory sound generator. I plan to buy a K&N drop-in filter which should help it breath even better. For about $160, this will be the only thing that will actually do something for your car and looks cool if anything when you pop the hood. I would recommended this product.
