Thanks for the pics! I'd been wondering about that.

Was putting this on your GS worth it?

YES! I definitely feel that it was. As I have metioned in other posts, I was never a fan of the sound generator. I found a way to remove it and plug the hose to see what it would be like without it. The car was much quieter, especially under mid-to-heavy throttle. With the generator there was too much noise in proportion to the feeling of acceleration. With it removed, you could hear some exhaust note and slight transmission whirr/whine (again, under mid-to-heavy throttle application). That made me decide to get a longterm solution, aka the K&N intake tube. Did it make it faster, probably not. But it did FEEL faster. You got all the feel of the acceleration without the hoooooonnnnkkk of the generator, lol.

Thanks, lol. I bought it from another forum member for $75. If I can get that, all would be good. I get what I paid and someone gets a deal on a great item for their GS.

Weird, I was winning at 105 then the listing ended and disappeared...

Edit: there it goes.
