No, I got the box, filter and tube - the whole kit.

It makes a sound but only past a certain rpm. But by then my exhaust is drowning it out. It's a different kind of sound -- and the two of them sound like two different voices singing at the same time.

To me, it's not worth it the money. No difference in power, hardly any in sound and I don't open my hood at car meets.

It might sound good if one doesn't have an after market exhaust.

congrats. I would keep the stock parts for if/when you sell it. Mods tend to limit the market.

I haven't installed my Megan Racing full header back yet, but for now I do have the F-Sport intake and I will admit it is great on top. Also I noticed that starting off (I have a MT car) it does not boog the transmission when starting off smoothly compared to the factory intake (maybe I have become accustomed to the trans and clutch so I compensate more). I do enjoy the sounds and overall am very pleased with the results. I will post after I install the exhaust (P.S. no cats hehe)

Only when you are lead footing the throttle, but otherwise I am seeing an improvement when I cruise and shift early (around 4K rpms). Overall it is an amazing intake

Enjoy your new intake I recently just installed mine, as well, altho it sounds awesome but I kind of regret it now since you can't really hear it until higher RPM, which is rare for me. Happy for your new intake , though
