So I purchased this setup because I wanted to keep the oem look with all the other plastic stuff going in the engine bay. They're hard plastic tubing instead of the traditional aluminum piping... minimize heat soak, maybe? They're pretty well made. I like how the stainless heat shield covers all the sides of the filter instead of just half like some setups out there. Can't really tell if it's much faster but it does make it sound a little deeper. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.

 

Looks good

 

looks great! Do you have a sound clip? How had it held up all this time?
