Got mine installed today... great eye candy, easy install... Made underhood access bit easier too... couldn't wait to get dyno time... left click pics to enlarge.
Ahmad did well! I do plan to replace the ring clamps with stainless T-clamps tp match the other plumbing...just OC I guess, LOL

I'm anxiously waiting for mine also. Going to install it on my 10 SHO. I was going to go with an airaid when I first boght it but kept reading all the bad reviews. This is exactly what we all needed. BANG UP JOB Mdesign has done on this intake. I have never seen anything like this. I can see these things going far!!!

What's sound difference from the stock airbox?
Looks awesome on a clean engine,your absolutly correct in regards to t-bolt clamps,holds everything in place better,also changed the silicone couplers.BiGMaC said:Got mine installed today... great eye candy, easy install...

Thanks guys!
Z... where did you get you T-clamps...they look better than the ons I have on my plumbing now!...PM please...TIA
Poker... Haven't gone WOT. With the LME v8 tune (modded for CAI and DP) the fans come on if i'm running the environmental controls (which I just leave on automatic)... Maybe nice a little spooling, but she growls pretty big when i ask for power... So I can't really say on the sound... bmc has noticed a change though. Butt-dyno says maybe quicker down low, but I need to get her to a dyne to be sure.

In general also like to use my own silicone HPS high temp couplers,made for turbo and intercooler applications http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NYCL7Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So if the dyno read more power on yours then you will be able to feel the difference? but right now you can't?

Of course not. But subjective impressions are affected by the placebo factor.... Butt dyno says more low end... but AWDyno would prove it... There are differences in the total package of the Xport and the SHO. I like the ability to access my tranny fluid dipstick and the general eye candy regardless.

Do you know when you are going to be able to get them numbers? If it makes any on the SHO.

And can you test stock intake?? ? Hood closed?

Will try! swamped in things... I have Mike hanging out on the exhaust cutout he made for me... have Crash's gauge pod to fill and install.. Trying to replace all tubing underhood with black SS wire covered tubing and black AN fittings.... more.... But that is a test to look at. realizing that heat soak on the dyno is greater than on the road.
