Lots of people. Simple google search answers your questions.

Install and fit were perfect on my 997.1 S. Love the sound and the quality is top notch

Better yet, there are dozens of YouTube videos that convey how it’s sounds better than text in a Rennlist post.

The videos unfortunately do not do the intake justice. That being said, here is a video:

Eye candy for sure and the howl at wide open throttle will confirm that you made the right buying decision.

Some haters will say it robs 50 hp but pulls against a gt3 in my car with it argue otherwise.

For sure! They claim that there is a small loss on dyno due to temps, but real world testing says otherwise. If you hook up a scanner and monitor IAT, you'll find that it's identical to OE other then when you are sitting in traffic.

gasongasoff also did some testing and the results show gains:

Whatever you decide to do, don’t throw away your OEM airbox. Keep it, it will be valuable to someone else.

I have one. With my supercharged setup I found their older J-Pipe style worked better than the current Y-Pipe, but the Y is the only one offered now.

I'd recommend putting K&N hydrophobic pre-filters on too as it keeps the filter media from getting saturated with water when driving in the rain.

For the slight HP loss you wont feel it in the real world but the noise it will make you feel its gain HP.
