Yes it`s rather flashy..... . They come in Black, Orange, Red and Yellow...

Now as HP/Tq ..... They claim throttle reponse is up along with a rise in hp/tq of around 9~10

"Those are some good claims."

Bolded for emphasis.

I'd be highly skeptical of any claim of 8-10% hp and torque improvement from an intake.

The little box just to the left of the red silicone sleeve is the connector for the IAT sensor----

BE CAREFUL WITH JDM SPEC AFTERMARKET INTAKES! THEY DO NOT HAVE TO CLEAR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER US SPEC CARS HAVE! US SPEC OEM AIR BOX TAKES AIR JUST BELOW MASTER CYLINDER WHICH IS ON A WAY OF OEM UNDER HOOD TUBING! UNLESS SOMEBODY BITES A BULLET AND BUYS IT AND LETS US KNOW IF IT FITS - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! YOU MIGHT REGRET IT!

They Fit.... Look at the relationship and location of the brake res. on these pictures they sit well behind the batery and plus these air intakes take up less space than the standard Air Box
