I have this fitted to my 2.0, which I think is the same layout as the 2.8 (it lists it as fitting both anyway). It makes a nicer sound and the engine breathes a bit better but performance wise I wouldn't hold your breath :shock: would probably need a heat shield as well to stop it sucking in the warm air from the engine for greater benefit.
Fitting is literally a 10 minute job, a couple of screws and that's about it :D

Do a search under the "Stock Exchange" for CAI (Cold Air Intake") and also under Simota.... I did post a name of an out fit in the USA that do car parts. They had the Simota's listed at around $70 - $80 ex shipping. which is a hugely good price.
