I noticed the most sound increase from taking the foil off and then a liitle more when I ported the AIS to the fender. When this filter gets dirty I think I will switch to the Kwikk filter to increase the whistle a little more

how does it move the exhaust better? the wicked wheel is a compressor upgrade, not the other side.
i also agree with amiller, the IC foil removal makes it sound a whole lot better. it kept me satisfied for a little bit. plus, it's freeeee!

If I did it over, I wouldnt get it... but I dont tow very often either so I dont see much turbo surge.
You wont see any butt dyno because you lose a snmall amount of air flow with it.

I'm starting to think that Ford , tuner manufacturers, chip amnufacturers, and aftermarket hard parts manufacturers get together every friday after work. They make ill fated bar bets together and that is how we get the crap we buy. What do they call that? "planned obsolesence"....
As far as our stock wheel and the whicked wheel go, I think Ford was trying to add more power at the least amount of expense. The loss was the surge/flutter, the gain was the "enthusuasts" buying the old parts left around.
