I wanted to share some information regarding the AFE magnum force intake now that I have had it on the car for three weeks.
Here's a link to my install-thread:

Initially, I noticed zero difference from stock in terms of performance, only a big change in sound. At first I thought something was broken but quickly learnt that this is just how these intake systems sound. After about a week I grew really tired of the sound, it constantly swooshes and whines and whatnot.
Two weeks down the line I noticed that my car just didn't feel as responsive in the low to mid rpm range and I started to suspect the Intake. Throttle response was not as sharp below 3,5k but all was fine above 3,5k.
Yesterday I put the stock intake back in and throttle response and low to mid range punch was back!
Now, I am not saying that the AFE Intake is bad, my point is that I gained a little more punch in the higher rpm range and at higher speeds, but for anyone looking to keep the cars current low end power and throttle response I'd say stick to the OEM box.
Hope this information helps anyone on the fence about getting an intake like the AFE magnum. Again, It depends on you preference, low down torque or a bit more power at high rpm.
