As you install your AFE Cold Air Intakes please post the noticeable differences you feel and hear. Should be interesting for those who are considering this purchase.

i dunno if i can notice a difference as far as performance, maybe more so in the higer rpm range. But the noise is deff noticable. The engine roars and growls after 3.8k rpms. Even with my 4.8 having the resonators removed i can still hear the intake take over after 3.8-4k rpms.

Just installed the Afe on my 3.0 yesterday...definately sounds cool even with my Supersprint..as of performance the engine seems to rev up smoother...but that is probably just me making up changes...and drove about 100 miles and no SES lights so i'm happy!! can't wait till it gets warm enough to drive with my windows open again!
