Looks good, easy install. Sounds good. Improves the appearance under the hood and seems to add to overall power in combination with a couple of other items.

Cold Air intake
The sound alone was good enough for me just hear my engine roar. However, I definitely felt the topped end power.

Affordable but no CA CARB Legal Sticker
This is a great product. It improved my gas mileage by 3MPG on the Hwy. However the support team said this is a CA CARB legal intake, but no sticker comes with it. So I get pulled over and they check under the hood I could get a ticket. Also I'll have to swap it out for the stock intake when I get smogged due to no sticker

Great product
You don’t gotta worry about spending 400+ on big name intake! Looks great, 30 min install, and gained 2 horsepower and .5 on mpg would recommend this to anyone in the market looking for a intake

Awesome product
Love the looks and even got a bit of better mpg. It even lets you hear the engine better when you gun it and with aftermarket exhaust it get a good sounding tone

Nice overall
It's a nice addition to the engine bay. A couple of parts were difficult to fit, but you just have to fight them to work. Noticed a slightly aggressive tone to it when at 2k RPMs.
Not Compatible with the 2007 Silverado 1500 Classic Model.
