The old one sucked because it didn't sound loud enough. Lol. Anyway, yes $450 for that intake when you can get the aluminum one from injen for 175, or other options around 250... It's a no brainer. The purpose is more air, so you need a tune to harvest the gains from it. Jist slapping an intake on a car without tuning it, you might lose power, you might run lean. Ridiculous. Get a tune and the $450 will be worth it.
WTS: I have the original APR Intake. I am going to be getting a different one. I want an open one. Hate on me if you want. But I want to sell the one I have. I have the intake and the carbon fiber inlet pipe. I'm looking to sell one or both. Idk for how much yet. Probably sell cheaper than most ..

Open ones do get dirty fast. I have to clean mine often.

On this car the OEM intake is not very restrictive, so an aftermarket one won't do anything. On other cars, 8 percent might be possible

Allows more noise from the turbo, but that is all they are good for. They do nothing for performance
