Finished installing the Stett Intake Boot today. The fitment with the AFE is tight. Not much tighter than the OEM boot though. It's just stiffer so it won't flex as much as the oe boot. There is one fairly noticeable bend in the boot once installed but after refitting the oem boot, I noticed the bend was on the old one as well. The bend has zero noticeable issues in performance. The boot is well crafted and personally, I love the way it looks. Some people like all black engine bays. I have a TiAg car so I want some color somewhere lol. The car feels much better with the new boots. The throttle responds a little better and all of the tiny cracks causing vacuum leaks are gone.

Thanks Charlie. And thank you for putting the group buy together. I just got back form running around on the highway and wow this boot feels a lot better than the old one. The butt dyno is enjoying it.

Glad to hear that Ben!!! If you don't mind I took your earlier post along with the install pics and ported them over to my review thread. Your boots got me thinking of using the same color for new radiator hoses for my ///M :)

Good idea. I had totally forgotten about the review thread. And that sounds awesome! I really want the silicone radiator hoses now!

wsmeyer ... do you have the part number handy ? Also, did you replace the clips at the same time ?
