I have one and it is easy to install, as long as it comes with a adapter, which that one looks like it comes with one, and yeah i can tell a big difference in throttle response and stuff, and they sound really good, k&n is better tho.

first off i wouldnt trust that filter for a minute... me and a friend years ago bought one for his camaro and it fell apart from the heat of the motor... imagine the heat from a rotary on one like that... and the adapter sucks too... its not a smooth flow from square to circle... the hks would prove better for just a few bucks more and top notch quality... if you cant afford it i guess get it but remember you get what you pay for
