I don't think its really worth it. Its just a cheap asortment of parts available at any autozone.

"This intake adapter create MORE horsepower than EVERY intake system on the market. This premier quality high performance intake system includes a high performance cone filter. providing superior filtering. All required hardware is included in the package for a easy bolt-on, no modification installation.
Package as seen on the picture comes with everything you need,
Cone-HIGH PERFORMANCE Cotton/stainless steel mesh air filter. Easy to install and maybe takes you about 15-25 mins only"

I think the first line in the description is a complete exaggeration. The piping looks to be too short and I am not sure where it would connect to. I am guessing inbetween the black elbow and the back of the AFM??

I really dont know what to think of this product.

this would be for an S5 only snd would use that blue adapter to hook onto the AFM then the blue hose goes to the air pump(?) and the little metal strips are used as brakets.

For $60 it's not a bad deal, just not as amazing as the ad makes it out to be.

I'm guessing it's a TID mod but that means it's missing a rubber cupling still as you need 2. turbo to pipe, and pipe to AFM

Probably replacing the semi straight peice in the N/A intake right after the AFM, then using the stock rubber hose at the end (at the throttle body).

couldn't see any HP increase though...

Like Scott said, it's for a Turbo, not NA. As long as that's a quality filter, and it comes with the other necessary coupler and clamps, it looks like a good buy.
