I finally got the BMC filter and did the install this afternoon. The whole thing took 3 mins to put in. I've been driving the car all day, it definitely pulls a bit easier at high speed and the engine sounds great.

Here are a few pictures:

This is what came with the package. A business card from RPI.

And the fine print said,"*Actual reactions may vary. Race Precision, Inc is not responsible for what happens between you and your spouse." Nice disclaimer.
