Most say no. Most people on this forum would recommend RPi Scoops + Filter. Reason being there's no cold air intake around. The aFe is hot air.

you technically can put this on your car, but you will likely not get any increase in horse power. probably a loss as what everyone else will say. i have it installed in my car and i love how it sounds on my 6 speed manual. i do feel that the throttle response is better though. i don't drive fast, but i do like a little growl when i step on the gas. my last car was an R33 Nissan Skyline GTR and i never took it past 110 kmh! lol!

yeah no sound with the RPI. i have that too. it just helps direct more air into the intake box since it sits behind the headlight. plus it looks cool sitting behind the grill. i always catch people stopping and taking a look when they walk past the car. lol!
