It's not that hard to fit really. You will need a suitable cone filter/induction kit. Then either stretch the original inlet pipe over the end or use bigger diameter inlet pipe. You might need two strips of metal bent to shape as brackets.

I'm making new inlet pipes and trialing them on mine, another benefit is they remove the oil breather so you have oil breather a catchtank instead. If you put one on and start it, the ecu doesnt know whats going on because of the extra air flowing, so you need to compensate for that.

It will give a power increase, how much is hard to say.

Results: Basically it makes it more gutsy, it pulls harder and for longer.
