I have just recently, yesterday, installed my new ProMINI Cold air intake. Let me just express that for $170.00 it rocks.

Installation is a brezze (30 min) an it looks great.
Acceleration improves greatly at low gears plus that added little rumble is awsome. Drove it 60 miles and was very impressed. Shifting is much smoother and you can nocite the added little boost. Kept an eye on the MPG for the entire trip and it did not seem to decrease at all. Per the computer, averaged 32 MPG combined for the entire little trip. Average speed 51 MPH top speed for the trip 84 MPH. Word of caution, keep a hold of the little spacers provided with the kit. Lost one trying to install. I was able to retrieve the screw. The mounting screwes are supposed to fit directly to the original but where slightly off. Since the original housing is plastic it goes into place without much force..

Welcome to the BMP Club

I have found that the small plastic spacers that come with the filter get very squashed and out of shape once you remove the filter. Last time I removed the filter I actually lost one of the spacers, although now I have managed to source a suitable relpacement - most hardware/D.I.Y stores sell plastic tubing similar in width to the Original spacers provided, I bought 1 metre of tubing as spare and cut it down to size - just a little tip incase you ever have to remove it or lose a spacer.
