It sounds good! A little quiet but it still has a voice. Pardon the wind noise, it's always howling wind in my area. IATs are nice and low, very close to ambient temp when you're underway. They creep a little when you're sitting, but nothing crazy. The power increase is pretty small (Injen advertises 15hp, but....). The MAF is happy, and the IATs are definitely lower than with the stock system, which pulls air from between the rad and bumper, over the bash bar. Throttle response in stagnant air is the biggest improvement, due to the lack of heat soak. The duct pulls air from the grill, which is the real bonus here.
I could see this intake being beneficial in a short slow autocross setting, especially during takeoff. After you're underway, it's mostly noise, as you only notice the small power increase in certain situations (as with basically every bolt on without tuning. This car is not tuned).
The filter monitor is cheesy, but convenient.
The exhaust is some kind of no name resonated midpipe with stock bends, and a PLM track pipe if anyone was wondering.
