Spent today underneath the car installing the CPE Xcel intake. It was a bit of a hassel but all done in 4 hours. Most of my problem was soem rusted bolts (despite only 1 winter, and being Krowned), and a few hidden snap bolts.
Big difference in noise, but not so sure about power. I already have the TBE, and IP so I get a lot of loud wooshing from the turbo, and a more pronounced BOV pop.
I am leaning towards saying it is too loud really, but I'll give it some time.
Overall 4 of 10 for install hardness, going to the dyno again soon to see the power gains.
