I got the BBK fenderwell for my GT and actually noticed a bigger difference when i replaced the stock MAF housing with a Vortech C&L meter housing (73mm) (without the cast aluminum intake tube because the cold air kit already had one). The cold air intake wasn't any louder than stock because stock i had a K&N panel with no air silences, but when i changed Mass air flow meter housings i could hear a LARGE difference in noise level. My car also pulled quite a bit better on the top end.

- The Cold air intake mounts kind of funny to the throttle body, but it can be done (my Edelbrock/BBK throttle body has a very slippery intake tract sealing surface) so it's kind of a challenge getting the clamps to clamp properly. but it's a good quality product as well as the MAF housing.
