Its there, but you will most likely not notice. Gains are minimal with any intake.

You'll gain some at speed, lose some power when your not moving as fast. Gains are equivalent to probably any Cold Air Intake.

Just as previously mentioned, gains are most likely minimal, but the throttle response is awesome. My first intake setup was the spoon snorkel, which I definitely felt response at freeway speeds. When I swapped it out for a mugen replica intake, the response I was looking for was no longer there. So afterwards, I decided on a J's intake and so far it's what I was looking for.

get it - you will not regret it.
It's a performance mod that you will notice - not huge by any standards, but noticeable - anything that can do that to an S is worth it. Plus it ads a nice grumble to the engine. Plus it looks great.
Get it.

If it costs less then it would be worth it but if your looking for perforamce gains in relation to cost then this thing is not for you and not worth it.

You will gain more ON A DYNO with any other intake, like AEM, INJEN etc...almost a whole 10hp.

If money is not an option and you also want something that is bling, the J's is for you. Just remember don't expect much

ok, by experience we all know the gains are minimal but does it even give a badass sound at WOT? I ask this bec. it looks mean and carbon fiber has a different resonance compared to plastic and aluminum.

it might be a little louder than stock but the filter is still enclosed so it won't be that loud. if what your looking for is sound get an aem, fujita or fipk. any of those will give you an orgasmic WOT sound.
