Yes im pleased i've fitted it, esp as the price compared to things like EVOMS is much better value for money.
Noise sounds good to me too, i dont think its too excessive, certainly tho the bonnet sound proofing helps to reduce noise too or it would probably be more audible.
Does feel different, feels like it pulls a little better, as i say, the peak airflow has increased up to ~200 g/sec from around 180 g/sec on the stock intake and filter.
TBH, i dont see the point in getting something like EVOMS over this as its the same thing, but more expensive.
The heatshield did fit nicely on the car as i removed the CatchCan setup (as mine is mounted behind the passenger headlight) so i could fit the heatshield and see if i could still squeeze the catch can in, but i cant. So for now i've got the CatchCan and no heatshield for the filter. If the can was smaller then it would probably just about fit, as the big can i've got is just a little too bulky to squeeze in.
The only other thing i noticed is that the take-off for the remote DV thats located on the intake pipework is very very close to the brake fluid resevoir on the UK car (LHD cars wouldnt have this problem as its located on the other side) and the bung for it that im using is now slightly grazed from rubbing on it. This might be slightly worse on my car as i dont have the heatshield fitted, so the angle the intake pipe sits at might be slightly too high so its angled the bung in to the resevoir a little more than would be normal.
Matsu, where in Essex are you as im in Herts, so not too far if you wanted to arrange meeting up sometime for a better look etc. Am happy to help out other forumites where i can :)
