Fabspeed intake (and installation) questions...

Just recieved the Fabspeed intake and just had a few questions:

1) Has anyone else tried this system? How did you like it?

2) It looks pretty simple to install, but there were no directions for install included. Does anyone have a write up?

3) Are there really gains to be had by installing this system? I ordered it on a whim just to start with simple mods, and am wondering if anyone has seen actual gains from this system?

4) Will installation void the warranty?

I tried searching for threads on this topic, but couldn't come up with any answers. TIA for any info,

Jack

IMO the HP gains are not worth the potential headache of a destroyed MAF sensor from oiled filters (if used) plus the reduced filtration letting in more dirt vs. stock paper filter kind of puts me off the intake mod.

As for gains, I would expect a tune would be required to take full advantage of the intake + and exhaust.

Not exactly performed in a lab but good reading all the same:
