I installed this last night on a 2022 RST. Let me tell ya the install isn't bad. A few things I would change but I didn't design it. First, it's very bendable and cheap feeling. This helps get it into place but I dislike that. Second, the bracket for the rear of the system has a mount that is round, the stock box uses this in an oval hole, but with this upgrade that should've been replaced with an oval rubber mount to make the install stiffer. Third, the bracket for the wiring harness sits way to high. I felt I was going to rip the harness out trying to install it. Should be a little lower. Forth, the 90 degree quick connect is a headache. You need to screw it in and out multiple times to loosen it up and even then it won't screw in all the way and you fear breaking it. And lastly the thing I hate the most. The black powder coat is cheap. Just screwing in the screws chips it off. It came in the box covered in scratches. It flakes right off. When you are trying to squeeze the box into the truck it's gonna rub on everything, scratching it up and flaking the cheap powder coat. And of course don't believe the hype about horsepower gains. This has been proven not to be true for any intake. I knew this going in, but wanted a sleeker look. I do not recommend this.

The box came in a little beat up. The heat shield had paint chips along many of the edges. When it came time to install the reducer coupler to the throttle body in step 19, I discovered the incorrect part had been sent with the kit. They provided two sizes based on the engine displacement but the smaller one was not listed on the parts list. This was a Saturday and K&N customer service line was not available until Monday after 10AM. I had to reinstall the stock air intake after getting 75% completed. I was very mad. I called K&N Monday morning at 10A and they said they would overnight the correct coupler to my home. We’ll see how it goes

Definitely felt a performance boost. You will have to turn your filter percentage off because it keeps dropping to fast. Have to do some more research and call KN about that. But looks great and it changed the sound and feel like it really helped the trucks overall performance I added this and the Pulsar LT at the same time, was a great upgrade

This would have been a five-star, but I received this with missing hardware.

I bought this and wondered if I had the technical expertise to actually do this, and to my surprise, with assistance from a YouTube video, this was easier than I thought. It is a bit of a squeeze getting the old box out and the placing the new in, but the process took a little less than an hour and I can't wait to experience the improvement. The black opened faced look makes everything under the hood look that much better. I can't speak too much on performance increases or milage increased but from an authentic standpoint, one of the best upgrades I've done so far.
