Picked up an AEM Brute for just under $100 shipped. Just got it installed, and well... no big deal. Not too noticeable of an improvement. It might take hills with a bit more ease, and up my MPG, but I'll take a week and see for myself.
I've installed them in both a 01 Jetta and a 97 Honda we still have, and it seemed like a bigger improvement on those vehicles... but... whatever.
The "intake sound" didn't change at all though, which was one of the things I was really expecting, that I liked on the other vehicles. Maybe I should have gone with American Muscle kit. Oh well, live and learn.
I like how it looks, even though it's like putting a chandelier in a haunted house. Dirrrty engine bay.
