I agree with above. Regardless of the gear your in but around 2k-4K RPM is where you hear the turbo.

Also, the blue color on the filter doesn't stay around for too long!

Yes, I second that. Hasn't even been a month and it's not even blue anymore. Like a dirty grey now.

Yup exactly. I had taken the intake off for service and I didn't realize the color had faded to grey. I realized it when I went to put the intake back on. I literally thought I grabbed an older air filter that belonged to my previous mustang.

I did a quick google search and found its pretty normal for it to fade (not sure how long it should take for it to fade though). Some companies offer dye's to re apply the color for appearance purposes, but probably not necessary.

Yeah, doesn't bother me as long as its just as functional as before. Not like I'm featuring the car in shows or anything like that.

Just installed mine today, it definitely sounds better than stock imo. Louder turbo spools and gives your engine somewhat of a deeper engine note.

Mine is definitely no longer blue either, haha. I wasn't sure if it was dirty or the blue was just fading?

Also, I still haven't taken the clips off. Seems like it's gonna be a pain in the ass. Once you bend them down to pull them out, are they no longer usable? It seems like those clips are one time use (being installed in the airbox that is).
