Yes just for the looks because the tube doesn't really do anything. It'll cost more than $50 if you buy it retail.

Well if it's just the tube and not the box , I suppose it's worth it since normally it's about $140 I believe? But whether it's really worth it to you is purely your opinion. All the tube is really supposed to do is make the car breathe a tiny bit better and give a very small increase in power of about 3-4 hp at best.

As far as sound , I'm not sure if it does much for the car if you don't have the F sport air box. In my case, I already have the F sport box but not the tube and that made my car have a meaner deeper growl above 3k rpm.

But whether you want it or not is up to you , and what's important to you . Essentually, you get a small increase in power (maybe) and better asthetics (opinion) for your engine bay.

Hope this helps.

I would pay $40 for "just the tube." If it came with the tube, coupler's, and 4 hose clamps, then I would pay $50....

It is 50 bucks. Is there much to debate about?

If your state has tough smog checks you will need the f sport stickers or they might fail it.

Thanks guys for the great info, yeah the tube come with hose couplers and clamps, and now i have K&N air filter, it just look like the F-sport elements air filter, all i have to sand down the bottom fins inside the box to make it like the F-sport complete intake set up
