I installed this on my '19 N-Line. It works as intended, intake is louder and you get the cool noises when you let off the accelerator pedal. It doesn't act as a real "Cold Air Intake" (not that its advertised as one) as there is not box preventing heat from surrounding the cold air coming in from the wimpy intake duct (which the Velossa Tech Big Mouth fixes). However it is still probably minimal cooling with this duct. I like mine, It sounds nice once again, and it also (whether or not its a placebo) seems like my car has more get up and go, because the tubing is less restrictive. I also have the Sxth Intercooler resonator Delete pipe too, as well as the Catless downpipe, so those might help as well.
Thanks for the info I really appreciate it! Looks like the intake is back-ordered for the time being so I'll continue to shop around. The AFE intake looks really nice as well, just not sure if I want to spend $350 for an intake that's all.
I installed the K&N Cold Air Intake. It is $311 for everything and it took me 90 minutes to install, I have a lot of metal in my back holding my spine together so someone that doesn't have to deal with that issue would be able to install everything in about 60 minutes. K&N claims a 15.5 hp gain and they provide documentation to show their claim. Based on seat of the pants feel it does make a difference.
