Honestly.. I don't want to waste my time talking to you about this. All I asked for was a sound clip. Can't I do that?

At least with a sound clip, people can hear how it sounds.

With an intake, you're probably getting a few HP. EVERYBODY knows that (like you said they're all the same) so how else are people going to decide on which one they want? Sound could be one of them, brand could be the other, who knows? Who cares dude.

All I asked for was a sound clip.

You're not adding value to this thread so please just shut up.

Here is the video per request.

Took a closer look today. And the filter sits pretty low just behind the lower grill.

Not sure if you can hear, but I said that the pipe has no branding on it, it's just a metal tube.

I guess if I wanted a sound clip of an exhaust system, then I would be just buying the exhaust for its sound. Bummer.

Nice, cheap intake. The only thing that would probably bother me is its low filter location.

Doesn't bother me, filter is well protected by the bumper and the covers behind it

I like it, noticed a slight increase in performance (it could be in my head). Inaudible unless under heavy throttle. It's loud when you want it to be and quiet when you want. Installation was easy. Careful when sliding the intake through from under the car to the engine, it's very prone to scratches.

I should've taken pictures of the contents in the box, but its just a metal pipe (no branding), two couplers, two clamps, filter, vibration mount, two rubber hoses, stickers and instructions.

I just installed my DC intake a couple days ago. Had a hell of a time trying to mount it, but oh well it works fine.

The only good sound clip you could get on this is if you were driving the car around, it get loud at around 4k rpm. The car definetely seems to move around alot better at lower speeds(20 and below) and its made the torque steer a little tougher to manage.

By the way Drewman752 send ultra rev a message or call them I know you'll have to get up pretty early(3-4ish) in the morning to do that in afghanistan. When you call they're really responsive, I know i got my item.

Yeah i'll go ahead tomorrow when i come back into work, and shoot them a message, if i see there isn't anything happening. I've already talked to them once about another product, and money issue. They resolved that pretty quickly so.

Sounds like a deal to me. You can honestly slap on an AEM sticker and there would be no difference.

How'd you get the OEM resonator and intake tube out without taking the bumper off?

Installed mine the other day, love it so far. However, i got no shipping info from UltraRev and it took a week and a half to get to my house.

Removed the driver side front wheel and loosened the inner fender liner and pulled it away ... Same way I remove the filter for cleaning .

Decided to take a pic of the intake after I took off my bumper for some grill modding.

pretty straight forward. if you follow the DIY video by sandiegodrive, you'll be fine. Only hard part was pulling out the intake and pulling the OE hoses. Careful pulling the coolant hose, it may be pretty hot depending how long you've let your engine cool down.

Will this CAI work for a 07 TL-S? On the website they don't differentiate. Anyone with a 3rd gen type S using one?

Thanks in advance guys!

Just joined this forum, which is a day late & dollar short. I would have grabbed the CAI from DC Sports but I already have one in the mail from Injen.
