Back to the instructions...I pay attention to the effort companies put into instructions as I believe it says something about them. A lot of automotive aftermarket suppliers don't invest much time/effort into this because by the time you get their product and their instructions, they have your money. On the other hand, my initial impression of SB is very positive because they obviously expended some time/effort into their instruction sheets. I hope I'm as happy with their product. Suspect I will be.

I feel the same way about restaurants and their bathrooms. A trashy/dirty bathroom tells me what the restaurant owner thinks about his customers.

If there was one feature I really liked it would be the soft/rubber pieces that connect the harder pieces. It's much more pliable, almost slippery, so there was no struggling to get the pieces together. Others have been tough. So, as long as everything holds together I'm a happy camper. Nice sound, too, but I'm sure this is no different than the others. Oh, one other thing w/regard to the appearance...the clear plexi cover over the box/filter is a real nice touch.

Next call was to Roush asking them if they had a 07 4.6 CAI on the market they do but its not listed on the web site the PART # is 402-867 the 06 is #402-100 to make a long story short If you order a Roush make sure you get the right one ebay is passing 04 to 08 as the same part . I talked to Mike at Woodhouse today and told him about my finding they had the part #402-100 for a 07 as well he is going to make the change. Hes one of the best parts guy to deal with by far So I order the Roush from Woodhouse Best price on the net and top service.

I've installed maybe six or seven intakes over the last few years, multiple manufacturers on a variety of cars...a GTO, a few Fords, my wife's Charger, etc. Always one of the brands you read about here. Never had problems with any of them.

I just ordered/received an SB intake for my '07 4.6. There is one striking difference I have noted and and I haven't even begun to install the kit. It's the instructions. Not that installing a CAI is brain surgery, but I gotta tell ya, SB has put a lot more time & effort into preparing their instructions. In the past, I've seen everything from 27th generation xerox copies to confusing generic instructions. If this is any indication of the quality of the SB product, I'll be pleased.
