Pieces of it even have alight dents like scrap metal. Overall, very cheap looking and feeling. Design could be a bit more effective too using available engine bay space.

I'm also getting a system too lean CEL no matter how snug I fit the piping. Since I don't notice any real performance improvement other than a louder diverter valve, I'm wishing I never wasted my money....
Not surprised.

So far I only like the AFE intake and not at $400+. **********s had them for $270 on Black Friday. That, or $200-225 used is all it's worth to me as I assume it to only be for sound.
