Add me to the MSR fan club. i have had the intake since May and it is probably my favorite mod on the car. The sound is just amazing, the turbo spool is a lot more noticeable. Also there is an increase in torque through out the rev band.
I also have the coated intakes and heat has not been an issue, even during moutain/spirited driving runs.
MSR customer service is top notch as well. George is always available and he is a perfectionist.
