Yeah dude. It is basically a stock short ram. You should hear the turbo BOV "wooshing and swooshing". And when you gas it at lower RPMs you also should hear a small throaty grumple. As for a power gain probably not much but i can tell you one thing:

You remember how big that silencer was. Think of all the air restriction that was causing. Not to mention you should feel a small improvment in acceleration smoothness.

Hey man for free, I think it is worth it. I did it before i got my short ram. I would do it again if i had the chance. Thats just my 2 pennies.

I actually felt a power difference. Before it use to studder on low RPMs fairly noticeably. It still does but not as much.

Sound is 100% different in a good way. Was passing a friend on the freeway and he texted me saying he could hear my turbo spool up.

and I've heard a million times that the factory airbox is better than an aftermarket intake if used with a high flow filter.
