Had one on my car for about a year and a half. Took awhile to assemble it the first time but actually putting it on the car, I could do that in under a minute.

Well it's pretty much useless if the filter is as hot as your engine

I had to notch and bend my heat shield, I do think it may be rubbing on the motor mount a little bit still. Oh well.
