I bought it from a forum member received it this week while at work:emotions122:, finally came home and jumped right on it. It was a very easy install even with no instructions and it took a total of 10-15 mins. Didn’t get to try it out yet (battery is unhooked) originally I was unsure about the orange, but since the install I really like it. Ill update with any performance gains. :driver:

Looks like you bolted the front lip to something on the radiator?

I don't have anything on my 2014 that I can bolt the front lip to.

Did you drill any holes in the radiator shroud?

Can you post a close up? Tx.

That’s the 3 bolts holding the flap that lays over the radiator to the main part of the intake. It’s not bolted directly to the radiator, only held on from the throttle body by the rubber coupling.

I saw a gain in performance at higher speeds and also a nice gain in MPGs with mine. I hope that you get the same outcome. Looks good!

Performance update..... So far only noticeable difference is the sound, it’s louder under heavy acceleration. The low end torque feels a little better, it feels like its pulling harder at a lower RPM when just cruising around. As far as MPG's so far no improvements, but it’s only been on for about 70 miles.

Last update..... Butt dyno is showing a gain in low rpm torque, getting 22 MPG at 70 so that’s great. Not sure but shifting seems a bit "harder". Almost seems like less time between shift maybe? But overall I’m satisfied with the purchase!
